Recent Reviews: "A ready wit, one to watch!" - BBC Leeds "Comedian Phil Walker continues to evolve in leaps and bounds & his material is as up to date as tonights news." - The Stage "Next to the stage was Phil Walker, a very topical based comedian really benefited from riding on the crest of a wave that had been created by Jimmy previously, the audience already hyped up were instantly in stitches at Phil`s brilliantly culturally and socially relevant humour. Phil had a remarkable knack of stating what everyone else in the room was thinking, creating an absolutely hilarious atmosphere all round due to the fact that everyone could relate to the points made in his set so well. Strengthening the idea that people could relate to his jokes, constant references were made to famous names and the media in general, a technique that seemed very well received. Phil Walker showed a fantastic youthful energy throughout." - Nick Furlong, Arts in leicestershire |
