"I have adored Emo Philips since the UK in the 80's. He is hilarious."
--- Eric Idle, May 12, 2018
"Emo is the most brilliant joke-writer in the game. You HAVE to see him live. He's amazing." --- Patton Oswalt, February 1, 2022
“What a joy. What a complete joy. Astounding. There really is no better joke writer and that’s the smallest part of what’s great.”
— Penn Jillette, July 23, 2025
"Emo Philips... absolutely killed."
--- Rolling Stone (Carnegie Hall review), October 30, 2022
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.
"I'm 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

From the classic Happy Wife, Happy Life routine you’ve been quoting for years, to fresh takes on marriage, family, and everyday life, Jeff is pulling it all together for a night that’s hilarious, unforgettable, and uplifting.
