About the show

Phil has been getting better at comedy since March 1987. One of these days he may just get it right. Until then Phil just keeps trying.
If at first you don't succeed, try and try your best.
This is a tour of Phil, trying his best!
This 'greatest hits' tour will include his classic songs, You Can't Say That To Me, Sleazy Massage, Elvis Sucks and his Corky classic Only Gay Eskimo mixed with madcap routines and stories about Phil's life as a Canadian in the UK, the frustrations of modern-day transport, the English sense of humour and proclivity for alcohol and some quick-fire one-liners.
"You won't see many comedy shows that actually exert g-force. But if you're a passion junkie like me, there is no better place to get your fix than from Phil Nichol...exhilarating, incredibly funny and clever" ★★★★★ The Scotsman
"A 'simple' hour with Phil Nichol is a veritable comedy goldmine...riotously funny...the audience demand more of the crazed comedy majesty that is Phil Nichol" ★★★★★ Fringe Guru
