Description

Phil says goodbye to Edinburgh forever. '"The time has come," the Walrus said'... Sadly, the Walrus was right, Edinburgh’s most beloved and under appreciated genius is bowing out. Much like the oysters in Edward Lear’s poem, Phil’s shows have been gorged on by audiences and critics alike for years without earning him a TV show or family of his own. Prepare to hear hard truths about his past, the industry and laugh along the way. Give this swan a stage and a mic because he’s about to sing his final song. His swansong. ***** (Scotsman).

Hilarious, bizarre and very engaging... Phil is a master of making chaos and confusion funny and comfortingly familiar.

In his sixth year at the Fringe, Phil Ellis is deploying the Gasby Gambit: announcing that he’s quitting comedy because he’s disillusioned with the industry. ...

The show was packed and the audience was loving every minute of this show, even the melancholy and tragic bits. Phil is a comedian who, with an able band of willing to be very embarrassed friends, will leave an audience very happy but slightly mystified as to what was real and what was a fortuitous accident. Mug someone for a ticket to Au Revoir if you have to. One of my must-see shows this Fringe and I hope to see his “we reformed the band” visit next year.
