Phil Kay

To be at one of Phil's shows and expect stand-up would be a big mistake Éanything can happen and invariably does!

Never is this more true than when performing on his home turf.  Glasgow beware! Or, at the very least, bring hard hats.

Phil's comedy is a unique blend of energy, improvisation and leaps of imagination that take his audience on a joyride they'll never forget.  Even Phil has no idea what might happen when he unleashes his crazy brand of improvised comedy mayhem.  He possesses the rare gift of creating a space where audiences feel like they are kids again, all taking part in a practical joke.  

Phil launched his stand-up comedy career with a bang in 1989, quickly garnering a host of awards, nominations and glowing reviews. Since then, the plaudits have never stopped as he conquered first the live stage and then television, with appearances on such shows as Phil Kay Feels, (Ch 4), Next Stop Phil Kay (Ch 4), Edinburgh Nights (BBC1), Montreal Festival of Fun (Ch 5) and plenty more besides.  Phil's first love, however, remains live stage work ­ and only by watching his live performances will audiences really see him at his very best.

Phil Kay is stand-up comedy's answer to spontaneous human combustion a rare, explosive and always surprising phenomenon that simply cannot be contained in a box or represented on a cathode tube.

Phil tours Britain constantly and is a firm favourite at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where he performs yearly to sell-out crowds and critical acclaim.

Over the years he has completed several highly successful tours of Australia, performing at the Adelaide and Melbourne Festivals.  Since then, he has travelled the length and breadth of the globe administering his special blend of comedy genius.Phil has worked as a warm-up man on television shows including: Jonathan Ross's Saturday Show, Channel 4's Viva Cabaret, The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer, Sean's Show and Harry Hill's Pilot Show.
