PHIL KAY: MEGABUSY
“High energy levels, emotionally charged and visceral storytelling... Kay was the chief influence on stand-ups who now regularly sell out
enormodomes, but the prospect of him hitting marks and dressing in the same stage suit every night for DVD continuity is a belly laugh in itself.
It’s a case of gripping the seat and holding on, not really knowing where this is going to go. Long may it last...” Herald Scotland

PHIL NICHOL - I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
For a comedian, when life sucks, the material’s good. If life gets really bad, that’s even better. If it’s completely horrendous then it makes
for a great show. This should be a great show! “His joyous pursuit of chaos is as physical as it is intellectual... Phil Nichol is on a mission
to entertain us to within an inch of our lives. He’s succeeding.” for The Scotsman ***** “Phil Nichol is comedic dynamite” EdFest *****
