Hi, I'm digital reporter Amy Seddon.
00:04
Take a look at what the comedian Emmanuel Sinobi had to say
00:07
before performing at the Blackpool Comedy Festival at the end of May.
00:12
This exclusive footage was shared with us by radio personality Jed Mills.
00:18
I'm a big fan of a comedy festival as well.
00:20
I do love, you get to see so many acts in one place.
00:24
It's awesome.
00:25
And Blackpool's a lot of fun.
00:27
I've gigged in Blackpool a few times and it's never been, it's never disappointed.
00:31
In terms of a comedy club, is it different, obviously, than being on tour?
00:37
In terms of, you know, if someone's been on before you and you think,
00:41
oh, they were really, do you try and, you know,
00:44
is there a bit of warm-upmanship all the time or how does it work?
00:48
I'll tell you how it feels for me.
00:50
With a tour, when you do a tour, so I explain it this way.
00:55
A comedy club, people go to the club.
00:59
A tour, people come to see you.
01:01
So when you've had a whole year of people coming to see you,
01:05
where you literally walk out and there's an applause break for a minute
01:08
before you've done anything, it feels awesome.
01:11
But the problem is you get used to it.
01:13
And then you go to a comedy club where you walk out and they're like,
01:17
okay, go on.
01:18
And it's such a weird jump.
01:22
But also what you want is you want everyone to do really well
01:28
because energy keeps going.
01:30
If the energy's in the room, and I've done gigs where we've done charity nights
01:34
where it's been 15 comedians all on stage,
01:38
and these are all like 15 really good comedians,
01:41
and then they go, Emmanuel, you've got to close.
01:43
And I'm going on after Jack Dee and Stephen Gray.
01:47
Oh, there's so many big names.
01:48
And now I have to close and I don't want to.
01:53
You said about Blackpool before, you've gigged in Blackpool before.
01:56
How do you find us as a town, as a venue, and our audiences, of course?
02:01
So coming up from London, I love the North.
02:05
It's so much friendlier, so much more laid back,
02:09
and it's just so much fun.
02:12
I've never had a bad gig in the North.
02:15
I think it's so much fun.
02:18
And again, people are just people.
02:21
That's what I sort of live by.
02:23
And a lot of the stuff I talk about is very universal.
02:27
It's stuff we've all been through.
02:28
All of us have looked at our child at one point
02:31
and thought, well, you're an idiot.
02:33
There's loads of things that we all discuss.
