"Originally from North Carolina, Phil has been in the entertainment business for almost thirty years. He is a musician, playing bass and singing in bands both locally and throughout the eastern United States in the early years. In 1990 Phil first took to the stage as a professional comedian drawing on his years of experience in front of an audience. Now a veteran performer, Phil can read an audience like no other, sensing their mood and giving them what they want. His show is a Southern flavored blend of stand-up, original comedy songs, guitar goofiness, and musical impressions. Phil is not your typical guitar act… he can actually play the guitar…no endless string of parodies here.
Whether you look for a clean show or something with a little more edge, Phil will make you laugh!"

She loves me, she tolerates my crap, she is half of my soul....the rest doesn't matter.
Phil! Thanks again for helping us out on Saturday! I had a real blast! I hope you did, too. Turns out, we raised a good deal of money for MDA. And you are partially responsible for that. Hope to see you again soon!
