Described by Jay Leno as "the best joke writer in America" and by British comedian 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 & 2022-23, 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.
Emo has released comedy albums on the renowned Epic label; has had numerous cable specials (including an hour-long one on HBO); has performed stand-up many, many times on network television in America, Canada, Australia, Ireland, and the UK.
He has appeared in films (most notably as the table-saw demonstrator in UHF and as Salvador Dali in Weird: the "Weird Al" Yankovic Story. He has lent his distinctive voice to audio books (including a 2023 collection of poems by Bob Odenkirk) and to animated TV shows (such as Slacker Cats, Doctor Katz, Adventure Time, and Home Movies); and (which would've blown ten-year-old Emo's mind) has even been published in Mad Magazine; but his first love, stand-up, remains his true one.
