Bob Phillips has been performing standup comedy at the country’s best theaters and clubs for over 20 years. He covers a lot of ground, with a show that is a blend of observational, topical, political, and biographical material. He talks about every day subjects, from his Catholic upbringing to growing up in the seventies and the absurdities of modern life. He does so with wicked timing, intelligence and sarcasm.
There are no sacred cows in Bob’s act, and there are no safe havens.
Bob has been seen on the Fox stand-up comedy series “Laughs” and is heard daily on SiriusXM satellite radio’s Rawdog, Laugh USA, and Jeff & Larry’s Comedy Roundup. He is one half of the popular podcast, “The Sal & Bob Show.” Bob’s Open Bar Comedy Special will be released in April of 2023. Bob has recorded three full length comedy CD’s. “Live In Fargo,” “Pop Tarts and Air,” and the newly released, “Ten Dollar Gift Card.” He performs at all the top clubs, theaters, and casinos around the country. From Detroit to Las Vegas, from Fargo to Miami, and all points in between, Bob keeps a busy schedule.
Sometimes biting, sometimes endearing, but always in charge, Bob Phillips isn’t cynical. But he is a smart aleck with a quick wit. His show isn’t dirty, but it can be occasionally naughty, concentrating more on clever rather than crass.
From Bob: I have played most of the Funny Bones, as well as McCurdy’s Comedy Club and Humor Institute, Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle, the Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase, One Night Stan’s, the Comedy Cabana, the Dow Event Center, and too many others to count, as well as a couple clubs in Vegas, like Jokesters and Delirious in downtown. I’m playing Brad Garrett’s club at the MGM Grand in February. I’ve written for Huffpost, have been interviewed by the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, and had my tweets covered by Henry Winkler, among other notable stars. I have 15,000 Twitter followers. I’ve worked with tons of well known comedians who I can’t name, per our agreements. I’ve worked with Louis Black, Tom Arnold, Gary Gulman, Rob Schneider, Frank Caliendo, and recorded my first special for Open Bar Comedy.
