Emo Philips
Emo Philips
Described by Jay Leno as the best joke writer in America, Emo Philips has performed over seven thousand stand-up shows in comedy clubs, colleges and theaters, including a multi- week run at the Playhouse Theatre in London's West End. In 2018 and 2022-2023, Emo toured with Weird Al Yankovic (over two hundred concerts across three continents); Emo will forever remember the standing ovation he received at Carnegie Hall.
"Im not sure when or where I first heard of Emo's routines, but once I did I instantly became a fan," says Weird Al Yankovic. "Emo had the iconic look of someone who could have been a major star in the era of silent films. His body language was indescribably weird. And his material was flat-out brilliant." If asked at gunpoint who the funniest guy in the world was, Yankovic adds, "Without question I would have to say Emo Philips -- especially if Emo happened to be the one holding the gun." --- Weird Al Yankovic, Chicago Magazine

REFUNDS: We do not offer ticket refunds. The ONLY exception is if the venue or performer has to cancel or reschedule a show (in which case you will be given the option to receive a refund).
If you can no longer attend a show for any reason (illness, weather, unforeseen circumstances, etc.), you may:
- Transfer your ticket to another person who is able to attend, or
- Request a credit in our system to be used toward seeing a future show.
