Emo Philips is a comedy legend. For a generation, he's been entertaining audiences and influencing other comics with his blend of misdirection and odd-but-clever punchlines. Jay Leno called him “the best joke writer in America,” and "Weird Al" Yankovic describes him as one of the funniest people on the planet. His wandering, child-like delivery belies a razor sharp wit and an uncanny knack for timing. Philips has performed over 6000 shows throughout the English-speaking world, including a multi-week run at the Playhouse Theater in London's West End. His career has seen award-winning comedy albums, several cable specials (including an hour-long on HBO), and many appearances on US and UK network television. He has appeared in films (most notably as the table-saw demonstrator in UHF), lent his distinctive voice to animated TV shows (Slacker Cats, Doctor Katz, Adventure Time, Home Movies), and appeared recently on the Comedy Central series “Review” with Andy Daly. But his true love is his first love—stand-up—and he will leave you standing too, cheering for more. emophilips.com
