"Originally from North Carolina, Phil has been in the entertainment business for almost thirty years. He is a musician, playing bass and singing in bands both locally and throughout the eastern United States in the early years. In 1990 Phil first took to the stage as a professional comedian drawing on his years of experience in front of an audience. Now a veteran performer, Phil can read an audience like no other, sensing their mood and giving them what they want. His show is a Southern flavored blend of stand-up, original comedy songs, guitar goofiness, and musical impressions. Phil is not your typical guitar act… he can actually play the guitar…no endless string of parodies here.
Whether you look for a clean show or something with a little more edge, Phil will make you laugh!"
Phil is also the operator of The Comedy Cellar at Snowshoe Mountain Ski Resort during the ski season giving him a unique perspective from both sides of the microphone.
