world around him and compares it with that of his own. There are many bad ideas out there

“Downright hilarious. Interspersed
with some savvy observations”
Three Weeks
“Hilarious
anecdotes, observations and unashamed jokes”
The Weekly News
“A genuine wit
and passion…He has a natural likeable charm to him and a stylish delivery”
Steve Bennett - Chortle
“Phil Buckley’s matey patter won the
audience over immediately and it’s not hard to see why. He controlled the room, had
everyone on his side with his tales of vodka-fuelled woe and dealt with anyone stupid
enough to heckle him brilliantly. His tale of a stag do in Russia brought the house
down”
BBC Manchester
“Very
funny”
BBC Tees
“A hit with the audience who
quickly warmed to anecdotes about drinking with students, working in Salford and
attracting the amorous intentions of your brother-in-law. A confident, strong communicator
with sharp observations and an easy style”
Nightlife and 9/2 Cumberland News
"A laid-back
affair, with a useful ability to ad-lib"
