Event information

EDINBURGH PREVIEW DOUBLE BILL: PHIL NICHOL & JOHN GORDILLO


Phil Nichol: A Deadpan Poet Sings Quiet Songs Quietly…
A barnstorming, madcap Canadian stand-up comedian who was voted Time Out Comedian of the Year 1999, and was a Perrier nominee in 2002. Totally unpredictable; those with a heart condition be warned!
Ridiculously deadpan one-liners, fantastically sublime comic poems and quietly engaging comedy songs interspersed with the hare-brained musing of an idiot.
‘Famous for being entertainingly unpredictable’ ****The List

'Brilliance' *****The Sunday Times
Won the if.comedy award (previous the Perrier Award) for his acclaimed 2006 stand-up show The Naked Racist.
In the West End he has appeared alongside Christian Slater in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and in Boy George’s musical Taboo.

“a grown-up comic who combines emotional intimacy with high-quality gags. You may not find a more accomplished Fringe show." The Guardian

‘one of our finest stand ups’ according to the Evening Standard.
‘Gordillo is an inspiration, a consummate performer with an amazing talent, passion and intellect. If you want intelligent, moving comedy with a point, then you cannot afford to miss,’ Chortle.
The Times say he’s ‘Brilliant. Heartfelt and hilarious... he’s dynamite’.
Edinburgh Festival reviewers Three Weeks gave Gordillos 2007 show 5 stars and said ‘The most expensive comedy this year is Ricky Gervais at £37.50. I can say honestly, John Gordillo's of the same calibre ’.
