(2017 Edinburgh Fringe festival)

“After winning the Edinburgh Panel prize in 2014 with Funz and Gamez, Phil’s ready to bring his unique, anarchic and unreliable comedy to the masses. Phil doesn’t mean to brag but he’s been involved with no less than 5 failed pilots and over 20 unread TV show ideas.”

He played this set at Edinburgh Fringe from 2-14 & 16-26 August 2018 at the venue 313 Heroes @ The Hive (AKA The Bunka, now better known as simply The Hive) started at 7:40pm and was an hour long set (if he didn’t go overtime)

Tickets were £5 or PWYW/PWYC

Phil Ellis’ Edinburgh Fringe Festival debut (first full set, but his 3rd year preforming)

“Phil Ellis's life was going great. He'd lost everything in a break-up, moved into a shared house in Manchester, been asked to leave his full-time employment and had just turned 30.It was at this point that his parents felt that the time was right to tell him that he was adopted. It wasn't, but it did answer the question that had been bothering him for years, 'Why am I a foot taller than the rest of my family?'”

Guest starring Will Duggan as The Bear Show

He played this set at Edinburgh Fringe from 31 July-11 & 13-25 August 2013 at the venues 300 Underbelly Bristo Square/Wee Coo. The set started at 5:25pm and was an hour long.

Tickets were £8-£10

"Phil says goodbye to Edinburgh forever. '"The time has come," the Walrus said'... Sadly, the Walrus was right, Edinburgh's most beloved and under appreciated genius is bowing out. Much like the oysters in Edward Lear's poem, Phil's shows have been gorged on by audiences and critics alike for years without earning him a TV show or family of his own. Prepare to hear hard truths about his past, the industry and laugh along the way. Give this swan a stage and a mic because he's about to sing his final song. His swansong. ***** (Scotsman)."

He played this set at Edinburgh Fringe from 1-25 Aug 2019, at the Heroes @ The Hive (aka The Bunka) venue. The show started at 6pm and was 60 minutes long.
