Phil`s act has taken him to some weird & wonderful places, from a scout hut at Unst in the Shetland Isles, to a portacabin on Mount Alice in The Falkland Islands, basically he`ll go anywhere for a laugh! Even once performing in a theatre in Sarajevo to an audience of wartime soldiers on standby which he describes as,"I`ve played to some tough crowds before, but they were never armed with machine guns! thank God they liked me!!"

His act has become a firm favorite with The armed forces & has taken him as far afield as The Falklands Islands, Germany, Bosnia, Kosova & Kuwait, touring with such megastars as eighties icons Tony Hadley! & Bucks Fizz!

Phil started career on the tough holiday park circuit working for the likes of Butlins & Pontins & abroad for Airtours & Thomson.He then went on to work as support act to the likes of legendary Welshman Max Boyce & superstar singer Michael Ball.
