Emo Philips' Bio
I have adored Emo Philips since the UK in the 80's. He is hilarious." --- Eric Idle, May 12, 2018
"Emo is the most brilliant joke-writer in the game. You HAVE to see him live. He's amazing." --- Patton Oswalt, February 1, 2022
“What a joy. What a complete joy. Astounding. There really is no better joke writer and that’s the smallest part of what’s great.” — Penn Jillette, July 23, 2025
"Emo Philips... absolutely killed." --- Rolling Stone (Carnegie Hall review), October 30, 2022
In 2018 and 2022-2023, Emo toured with "Weird Al" Yankovic (over two hundred concerts across three continents); Emo will forever remember the standing ovation he received at Carnegie Hall.
"I'm not sure when or where I first heard of Emo's routines, but once I did I instantly became a fan," says "Weird Al" Yankovic. "Emo had the iconic look of someone who could have been a major star in the era of silent films. His body language was indescribably weird. And his material was flat-out brilliant." If asked at gunpoint who the funniest guy in the world was, Yankovic adds, "Without question I would have to say Emo Philips -- especially if Emo happened to be the one holding the gun." --- "Weird Al" Yankovic, Chicago Magazine
