"The audience were instantly in stitches at Phil`s brilliantly culturally and socially relevant humour. Phil had a remarkable knack of stating what everyone else in the room was thinking, creating an absolutely hilarious atmosphere all round due to the fact that everyone could relate to the points made in his set so well. Strengthening the idea that people could relate to his jokes, constant references were made to famous names and the media in general, a technique that seemed very well received." - Arts In Leicestershire
