Emmanuella Samuel, mononymously known as Emmanuella, is a YouTube child comedian on Mark Angel's YouTube channel. Emmanuella's first appearance was on episode 34, titled "Who Mess?"

Career

Emanuella entered into comedy when she was five years old. She was on a family holiday and met with Angel. He needed some children for his comedy shoot, and called a few children he knew for the audition, but they couldn't memorize their lines and he then turned to Emmanuella. Despite the eighteen hour long video shoot, a stunt he pulled to test the endurance of the kids, Emanuella did well. After her selection, Angel had to convince her parents to let her become a part of the Mark Angel Comedy team and got their approval. She became well known after the comedy skit "This is Not My Real Face Oh", in which she was making jokes about a headmistress to her fellow students without knowing the student was the child of the headmistress. This short skit was featured on CNN's Facebook page.
