Phil Nichol: Trying His Best
Phil has been getting better at comedy since March 1987. One of these days he may just get it right. Until then Phil just keeps trying. If at first you don’t succeed, try and try your best. This is a tour of Phil, trying his best!

“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.” Scotsman
“Phil Nichol is comedic dynamite, exploding on stage from start to finish.” EdFest
“Vibrant and purposeful… penetrating and exuberant” The Skinny
“Riotously funny-and filthy” The Sunday Telegraph
“In the most wonderful possible way, this must be how the inhabitants of Java felt when Krakatoa erupted” Edinburgh Guide
