Headline Act
PHIL WALKER
Phil’s act has taken him to some weird & wonderful places, from a scout hut in Unst in the Shetland Isles to a porta-cabin on mount Alice in the Falkland Islands, basically he’ll go anywhere for a laugh! Ever since being voted City Life Comedian of the year at the famous comedy store in Manchester, Phil has been in demand as a headline act at most of the leading comedy clubs throughout the country as well as major cruise lines and hotels internationally. He made his debut at the Edinburgh festival in 2012 where he received four-star critical acclaim for his one-hour show "Is this it? Phil is proud to have entertained over 4000 troops on two tours of war-torn Afghanistan as part of the CSE shows. His other tours for the troops include, The Falkland Islands, Cyprus, Kosovo, Kuwait, Bosnia & Germany, appearing with fellow comics as well as megastars including eighties icons Tony Hadley & Bucks Fizz! Closer to home.
Phil has also recently been seen as opening act for legendary music icon Frankie Valli as part of his UK tour and support act for comedy superstar Jason Manford on his "Like me" tour. He has even ventured into his own tour "Happy Bunny" which he has taken to various festivals and theatres throught the UK in 2024/25.
Television credits to date include, Talking telephone numbers - ITV1 (three series), Live at Jongleurs - Paramount, The Big Stage - Ch 5, Today with Des & Mel - ITV1 (three series).
His great act, along with his warm personality & charm have made Phil one of the most sought-after entertainers around today.
"If you look in your local comedy club listings and ever see Phil Walker listed, get a ticket. One of the funniest acts out there." - Jason Manford.

All acts were funny and good engaging with the crowd, including the host. The final act Max Fulham though was bloody brilliant.

Went specifically for the headliner but I was also impressed by the "middle" act. The venue is a bit of a barn, with no intimacy. No draught drinks. £5 for a 330ml bottle of beer. 5* for price refers to the gig ticket, not the bar.

R he set up change to stage was much better. James Kilvington worked the audience really well and was better than the 3 acts. Tom Taylor was the better of the 3 acts. Price was good value for money but felt that the bar service could have been improved by having staff behind the upstairs bar before the comedy gig started.
