Career

Emanuella entered into comedy when she was only five years old. She was on a family holiday and met with Mark Angel. He needed some kids 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 and she excelled despite the eighteen hour long video shoot, a stunt he pulled to test the endurance of the kids. After her selection, Mark Angel had to convince her parents to let her become a part of the Mark Angel Comedy team and got their approval.[4] Her fame started after the comedy skit “This is Not My Real Face Oh” in which she was making jokes about a Headmistress to her fellow student without knowing the student was the child of the Headmistress.[5] This short skit was featured on CNN's Facebook page.[6]
