Publicity for Phil Walker’s Sutton Coldfield appearance late this month warns that his currently touring stand-up show may contain jokes about allergies; “So if you’re allergic to jokes about allergies, please consult a doctor before attending”. 

The line offers a small window into the comedy mind of a man who’s been praised for his quick wit, infectious energy and topical material. 

He’s also very much a comedian’s comedian, as evidenced by Jason Manford’s admiration for him. “If you look in your local comedy-club listings and ever see Phil Walker listed,” urges the former One Show laughter merchant, “get a ticket. He’s one of the funniest acts out there.”
