Do you remember Phil Cool?
Time is relentless and aging is a bitch!

The first stand up show I ever went to.
Nice clip!
I remember him and thought he was great.

Haven't watched the clip but one of my housemates when I was a student knew him. Phil taught him a sort of joke routine on guitar (tortuous to explain) that I have been known to do when struggling to entertain.
Yes, and I particularly remember him doing Neil Kinnock advertising a Cadbury's fudge, and Billy Conolly and the stick of celery.
Me too, I think. Hemel Hempstead Pavilion. He was good, but I was disappointed that he did a lot of material I'd already seen on TV.theatreanchor said:The first stand up show I ever went to.

I saw him on a TV show quite a few years after his heyday, and it was exactly the same routine I'd seen when I was a kid, even down to the Jack Nicholson/Bugs Bunny A Few Good Men sketch, even though that film was like 20 years old or something.
I've got to admit, I genuinely thought I remembered reading a while back that he'd died, so this thread has been quite a surprise tbh.
Clicked on the link and HOLY SHIT WHERE DID THE TIME GO?
Goodness me! I didn't realise that was him at first!!! In all fairness he's 76 now.
When I was a teen in the 70s he was just the greatest comedian when he burst onto the scene, well, him and Dave Allen. The pair of them were essential viewing.

Blimey. I’d never have guessed that was Phil Cool.
Roy Jay anyone?
Spook!
Spook!

Ah, I think it might have been him that I was thinking of when I thought Phil Cool was dead. I remember him from when I was a kid, literally can only remember the "Spook!" catchphrase, not any of the jokes he told. According to Wikipedia, he had another catchphrase, "slither hither" - don't remember that, either.
