Eight nights of fast, loud and stupid nonsense from the biggest
child in modern comedy!
This year Canadian comedian, actor and musician Phil Nichol will
be performing just 8 shows at The Stand Comedy Club on Friday
and Saturday nights throughout the Fringe... |
It's a rare chance to see this dynamic and fun-crazed comic delivering
an hour of high energy stress-free ridiculousness. If you know Phil,
writer of the Fringe favourite song "The Only Gay Eskimo (In My Tribe)'
amongst other things, it'll be a mixture of his favourite routines and
new stuff that he has slapped together for the shows. If you don't know
him and his high-octane, in-yer-face stream of nonsense, you really
should. Despite winning the former Perrier Award, he remains bloody
funny.
After working like a man possessed for the last few years Phil has
decided to take it easy this Fringe. In the past three summers alone
Phil has co-produced five theatre shows with the Comedians' Theatre
Company, directing one, acting in the other four. He has written three
one hour solo comic monologues which he presented at The Stand Comedy
Club, two of which toured across the UK, taking them to both the
Montreal and Melbourne comedy festivals to critical acclaim. To relax he
co-hosted a nightly season of Old Rope, the weekly new material night
run by Tiffany Stevenson and himself in London. Add to that his fringe
presence since 1991 with Canadian music trio Corky and the Juice Pigs
and another 7 solo shows, including Things I Like To Lick, Phil felt he
might be due a rest.
The idea of missing the Fringe however was so unbearable.
Hope you like it!

Press Quotes
"Watching this stand-up on stage feels, in the most wonderful way
possible, how the inhabitants of Java felt when Krakatoa erupted; this
is body, heart and soul humour.'
Scotsman
"You could power a small market town from this performance. Add that
to storytelling nous, stagecraft surprises and a brazen disregard for
personal dignity and you've got a shameless shaggy dog story to warm the
cockles of the heart.'
Times
"Springing like a wound up squirrel from the woods of his ridiculous
imagination, Nichol's performance is an all- singing, all-bouncing,
all-paper folding ode to the joys of Being Silly. This shockingly
talented, breathlessly versatile performer could render the Financial
Times a frothing tsunami of fun.'
