Emmanuel Sonubi
Emmanuel Sonubi has only been on the comedy circuit for what feels like "five minutes" and he's already garnering himself a reputation as the "one to watch"! Having gone from open spot to closing BBC's "Live at the Apollo" in an incredibly short space of time, you will be seeing big things from this big man in the coming few years.
His comedy career started at the end of 2015 and he’s since become a regular favourite at the Comedy Store London, the MECCA of the UK comedy circuit. He has gone on to perform at many of the largest clubs in the UK and festivals, including Just for Laughs in Montreal, Altitude Comedy Festival in Austria, The International Comedy Festival in Rotterdam, Comedy Central Live, Download, Otherlands, Kendall Calling, Tramlines, Y-Not, Truck Fest and has performed at the Glastonbury Festival in 2022 and 2023, to name a few.

Grace Campbell
Grace Campbell is a comedian, writer, director, and podcaster from London. Grace’s sharp wit, uncompromising honesty, and provocative tone has established her as one of the most interesting comics of her generation, and an accidental voice for gen-z women.

As a stand up comedian, Grace took on her first European tour in 2024, with her show Grace Campbell is On Heat, a feisty, left-field, and moving show about an abortion, which she has also written about in the Observer to huge acclaim.
Grace’s podcast, produced by her and her childhood best friends, Late to the Party, is a chaotic chat about parties which is a subtle homage to the messy, opulent humour of Ab Fab, has had the likes of Amelia Dimoldenberg, Jameela Jamil, Joanne McNally, Alan Carr, James Blake, and the rest is politics hosts, Rory Stewart and Graces dad, Alastair Campbell.
Grace is a natural born entertainer. Grace has spent her first decade in the industry finding her voice, and now she wants to use it to make people laugh, and talk about the things that women are often scared to talk about. She likes to subvert what people think she might be like, and her main goal is to show women with all of their nuances. Good, bad, crazy, irrational, wonderful.
You may have also seen Grace on your screens in Riot Girls (Channel 4), Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled (Dave), Rhod Gilbert’s Growing Pains (Comedy Central) and Celebrity Gogglebox (Channel 4).
