In his third return to the Fringe, once again in the excellent Banshee Labyrinth Free Fringe venue, one of the circuit’s most personable comedians delves into the psyche of the middle-aged male and sets himself the simple task of guiding them into the world of self-help.
Having 100%, completely recovered from his own breakdown, Phil will advise, counsel and mentor his audience through their own crises - exonerating guilt, regrets, and all the things that we hold on to in life. Delivered in his warm and amiable tongue-in-cheek way, which has so far helped him to pack out every single show he has performed at the Fringe to the literal rafters, this is an hour for anyone who has ever found themselves ‘broken’.
Having arrived late into the comedy world in his late 30’s and finding himself as a relative newcomer at the same age as his peers who have long been in the game, Phil’s highly personal material and highly likeable persona have seen him gain award nominations, sell-out Fringe runs, reach finals in comedy competitions and write for and appear on BBC Radio 4. His Tik Tok viewers are also in the millions.
