• June 15, 2019I booked Philip for an evening presentation dinner and I could not recommend him enough. Philip was nice and early, really relaxed which in turn made me relaxed which was great. Philip was very flexible with a last minute change in the event schedule and his performance was tremendous, really good interaction with the crowd.
If I ever need a comedian for any event Philip would be my first choice.

Putting us at ease and sending three fantastic comedians.
A great night was had by all."

• Nov. 18, 2018"I had to organise a comedy evening as a charity fundraiser and turned to Philip to compile an evening of comedy for us. I told Philip the type of audience he needed to cater to and he followed the brief perfectly. He provided a fabulous smorgasbord of comedians with a surprise headline act of Dave Johns who had just taken the starring role of ""I, Daniel Blake"". The evening was such a success that we hired him again a year later - again he provided an evening of assorted comedy to ensure that the audience had a very enjoyable evening. I would definitely recommend Philip - either for his own stand-up act or to organise another comedy evening."

FAQs
Do you do open-air acts?
Provided there is a decent sound system available to me and a willing audience, I can perform wherever you need.
How long is the act?
Anything up to 40 minutes
What other services to you provide?
I can source other acts for your event if you wanted to have the option of more than one comedian. These acts can range from straight stand up comedy to musical comedy, character comedy, etc. I can also help with speechwriting for whatever even you're creating. Either starting from scratch or working with you to edit and develop something you've already written. This can be anything from formal presentations that you want to give an injection of humour, or a less formal speech such as a best man/groom wedding speech.
