Emo Philips.
EMO PHILIPS
Described by Jay Leno as the best joke writer in America and by Gary Delaney as the best joke writer in the world, 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 from 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."

TIM CAVANAGH
Tim Cavanagh LOVES doing comedy! Sharing my clean, smart jokes (in MY opinion anyway) and funny songs with people makes my life a true joy! My life was truly a wonderful run of laughter and fun! Until 2021, when I started getting death threats. Really serious death threats. From, of all people, my doctor! Who informed me that she had found a malignant tumor in my pancreas. Miraculously, she had found it early. And thanks to the work of an amazing medical team, I successfully underwent cancer treatment, survived The Whipple Procedure, and had the tumor removed. The cancer is gone!
Today, I celebrate by sharing my jokes and appreciating your laughter like I never have before.
