It took me a minute to do the math, I was at this Emo
performance at the Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy
Festival back in 1994.
I’ve run into him many times over the years, he’s
been very gracious, giving me a great interview
with a set of show IDs that rocked.
I have always been an Emo Philips fan, and consider
him to be a very underrated stand-up comedian.
My only knock, and I consider this to be a minor one,
is there are times when his pacing is too slow.
This piece has some classic bits to it, a slow but sure
romp through the mind of Emo…
