Introducing The Double Act — a fresh new twist from Property Week!

Get ready for a night like no other as Lucy Porter & Emmanuel Sonubi and join forces as a hilarious comedy duo for the Student Accommodation Awards.

TV and radio favourite Lucy Porter well known from multiple appearances on Would I Lie To You, QI, Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News For You and many more will have you laughing out loud as she shares her sharp and relatable takes on university life.

Emmanuel Sonubi has rocketed to comedic fame in record time, known for his commanding stage presence and fresh material that continues to win over audiences.

“The bloke has got funny bones. He’s incredibly likeable… despite looking like he could snap you in two!” — Romesh Ranganathan

This is a rare opportunity to see these two comedy powerhouses perform together – a one-off pairing you’re unlikely to see again. Together, they’ll bring extra energy, unstoppable charisma, and double the laughs to this year’s celebrations.
