Unquestionably the world's only "Stand Up Chameleon" Phil Cool is armed with a controllable rubber face. And he's not afraid to use it!  Phil's body, too, seems to be able to defy the normal anatomical laws. With this unique weaponry, he can be anyone or anything instantaneously from international celebrity to intergalactic alien.  He can be shocking, funny or shockingly funny. Phil's dextrous impressions and surreal comic sketches take us into a world where anything seems possible and the absurd seems credible. Phil is simply incredible and, without doubt, he is one of the most original and unique comic talents to come out of Great Britain.

   * 5 top selling videos
   * 4 TV specials
   * 3 hit series for the BBC
   * 2 acclaimed series for Independent TV
   * 1 dream. . . to play Jim Carrey's dad in a Hollywood blockbuster!

It all adds up to Britain's weirdest comedian

The original Mr. Rubber Face, Phil can metamorphose with ease from the Pope to Sylvester Stallone, Tina Turner to Forrest Gump, Jack Nicholson to Bugs Bunny, David Attenborough to a seahorse. Star Trek, Mr. Bean, even Pulp Fiction, .. Nothing escapes the Cool treatment .

Why have you not seen Phil on television for so long?

Well he's no good at gardening or decorating, he can't cook and doesn't do  D.I.Y., so what chance does he stand.

Look! dump your T.V in the nearest skip and get out to the theatre to see Phil because he'’s out and about in the U.K doing what he does best. live shows.

After watching the current Phil Cool show you won't realise that two hours has flown by, because you will have been spellbound by a rich diversity of his original material  delivered in Phil's unique style.

If the deadly accurate impressions of President  Bush and the " retired" Tony  Blair don't get you, then the crazy stories from his own experience will.

It could be one of the weird characters that only inhabit Phil Cool's mind that has you in stitches, or perhaps , Winston Churchill's scathing opinion of todays "yoof"  that may finish you off.

Well, no doubt you'll all have your favourites, Phil's happens to be his Paul  Mc Cartney explaining the troubles he's had with a certain blonde woman in.

"I don't care too much for money, but that much cash just isn't funny."

Phil has been performing stand up for over thirty years and is still comparable to no-one.

So do yourself a favour and go and see this legendary cult figure in his prime. If that wasn’t enough The UK's next major breakthrough star Steph Fraser has agreed to open up Phil’s show showcasing her new EP.

Following the critical acclaim of her first 2 singles 'Purple Sun' and 'Pretend', Fraser makes a substantial claim for the top UK singer/songwriter spot with this topical uptempo self penned tune. "Sub Prime loans take me through the roof, but i'm telling you baby that i'm recession proof" is the glorious hook with a cute but eminently hummable melody.

Produced and mixed by Dan Achen (Feist, City & Colour, Kathleen Edwards) at Catherine North Studios, Hamilton Canada and mastered by Joe Lambert (B52’s, Animal Collective, The Fiery Furnaces, City & Colour) at Joe Lambert Mastering, Brooklyn, New York, the finished article seems destined to make a lasting impression on the charts.

Fraser, no stranger to the big time having played to 18,000 fans in her home town and gracing the stage of the famous Opera House is one of the most talented young singers in the country and prompted former Beatles mentor and promoter Sam Leach to tip her for the 'big time'.


Her new EP was recently chosen by Tom Robinson for his BBC 6 Music introducing programme following strong support from BBC local radio in Lancashire, Merseyside, Humberside, Manchester and Leeds. The 3 songs featured on the single are a good representation of just how far this young starlet has come in just 18 months, gaining international experience with a tour of Canada and several music industry showcase performances along the way.
