To be at one of Phil Kay's shows and expect stand-up would be a big mistake anything can happen and invariably does! Inverness beware! As the top comedian comes to The Ironworks on December 22nd for Black Friday with Phil Kay.
Phil's comedy is a unique blend of energy, improvisation and leaps of imagination that take his audience on a joyride they'll never forget. Even Phil has no idea what might happen when he unleashes his crazy brand of improvised comedy mayhem. He possesses the rare gift of creating a space where audiences feel like they are kids again, all taking part in a practical joke.
Phil launched his stand-up comedy career with a bang in 1989, quickly garnering a host of awards, nominations and glowing reviews. Since then, the plaudits have never stopped as he conquered first the live stage and then television, with appearances on such shows as Phil Kay Feels, (Ch 4), Next Stop Phil Kay (Ch 4), Edinburgh Nights (BBC1), Montreal Festival of Fun (Ch 5) and plenty more besides.
Phil's first love, however, remains live stage work and only by watching his live performances will audiences really see him at his very best. Phil Kay is stand-up comedy's answer to spontaneous human combustion a rare, explosive and always surprising phenomenon that simply cannot be contained in a box or represented on a cathode tube. Phil tours Britain constantly and is a firm favorite at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where he performs yearly to sell-out crowds and critical acclaim.
The Craig Anderson band will perform a live ceildth set to warm up the crowd, the trio is fronted by Craig Anderson the BBC in Inverness for over 10 years.
Because of the broadcasting work quite a few people recognize Craig and he jokes that some people are surprised that the guy in the cowboy hat thrashing away on stage is the same person they see at six thirty on telly in a suit and tie!
Tickets for Black Friday with Phil Kay go on sale at 10 am on Tuesday Nov. 22nd priced at £8.00 in advance and £10.00 on the door and will be available from www.ironworksvenue.com or from the box office 0871 7894 173
