Well said Damion. Spot on mate. I was just a young lad growing up in the eighties, and the Phil Cool show was simply unmissable. I loved to watch my dad crying with laughter at Phil's antics. Our other favourites were Dick Emery and Laurel and Hardy. Happy days 🧡
Saw Phil in a small town called Consett in 2013, his last tour. There couldn't have been more than twenty people in the theatre. He knew he was losing money that night but he came on anyway and totally blew us all away. I never stopped laughing and was so glad I saw him.
shocking that such an amazing talent, I think dancing around genius has such small crowds. I wonder what happened behind the scenes with his manager and the BBC back in the day when he had audiences of millions.
In this age of reality TV stars who are famous for the sake of being famous, it's a genuine pleasure to see someone talented displaying his craft. God bless Phil.
Love it. Always loved Phil Cool. Miss him on the box. Never got to see him live. At 75 I guess there's little chance of seeing his genius again. We can only hope.
I've loved Phil since I was little! Great comedy, clever material, top impressions, the faces are spot on. Plus he can sing. But he's just really creative, too. Some of his routines are more like art.
Such an underrated genius and is one of my favourite comedians. I'm glad I've still got my five VHS tapes of his 80's shows (four official releases and one recorded off the telly).
As awesome as ever. And still had me crying with laughter. I saw Jasper Carrott & Phil Cool in Sunderland and it was an amazing show. To become a timeless act takes something special. A few weeks later I saw Ben Elton. - thinking "Man from Auntie" Just before the interval, I was thinking "If I hadn't have paid so much for these tickets, I'd get up leave. What a pile of sh..e!" I loved Reeves & Mortimer. (During "The Big Night Out" stage of their careers, and I still watch it with fond memories. ) But once they moved to the BBC, with in one series, that sparkle, that bit of something that made them unique and timeless seemed to disappear. I think we definitely need more Phil Cool !
I tried watching The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer recently, christ it was painful . A few funny bits but a lot of dross . I remember buying the vhs of the tour, and they came on and did tomato rolling ?! I knew then they'd peaked .
he just trounces on modern day comedians. His talent is like capturing lightning in a bottle. I know all of the people he did impressions of in the 1980 and watching them again recently is nothing short of genius.
Phil you're the "Coolest" I had totally forgotten just how good our comedy/impersonators used to be. Good to see that you still have not lost your great sense of observational humour. I was sorry to read of his recent heart problems. Hope he's better soon. Phil, and all his contemporaries sure make the so called "Comedians" of today look like what they are (Crap)
My thoughts exactly about Reeves and Mortimer and of course "Wossy". The wife / plane joke reminds me of another joke he told about his wife. ( Imagine Phil Cool saying this in his own imitable way ) "I like Australia, in fact I met my wife in Melbourne....... I said to her ' What the bloody hell are you doing here? ' "
It's not easy, you know what it's like.... You're sat at home, it's comfy. And you think, "Should I stay here, with my feet up in front of the fire, in my favourite chair, a few chocolates, a bit of wine, a beer perhaps. A cushion at back of me head, watching a video, ooh yeah ?" Or should I go into town and get stabbed ? LOL ! The man's an absolute legend :D
Beyond Eternity Promotions who, I believe, posted this clip, mentioned that it was taken from an upcoming concert DVD release. This was recorded back in 2011, but I have searched the net, and can't find this DVD available to buy anywhere. I've even e-mailed Beyond Eternity Promotions asking about Phil Cool DVD's, but got no response. Does anyone out there know if this DVD was ever released, and where I can get it from?
How can anyone compare the Great "Phil Cool" with those "Morcambe and Wise" wanna-bees. Reeves and Mortimer, who were as funny as a wet weekend in Blackpool. The fact is Phil, along with his contemporaries such as Jasper Carrott etc, they were the REAL ENTERTAINERS.
Phil was light years before his time , his mind was bulging with fun and pure entertainment .
I've not seen Phil for years, but this performance was as good as ever. What a swan-song!
Pure talent. He makes it look effortless. Fantastic. Really enjoyed this.

@ sounds like your household had similar taste to mine. I also watched those with my dad. Good times.

i was there it was brilliant

People go on about how great impressionists are, but this bloke was the best of them all. No other even came close.
Fantastic entertainer that went down quickly. Makes me wonder how so much dross on panel shows and "comedians" manage to stay on screen?
Bad promoters! Fantastic act.
Wonderful. I just love the pace of the delivery of material.
In this age of reality TV stars who are famous for the sake of being famous, it's a genuine pleasure to see someone talented displaying his craft.
God bless Phil.
There’s plenty of people displaying their craft. It’s not all doom and gloom.
pure TALENT
Phil is so perfect at what he does. He hit the TV and was immediately seen as a genius. He was/is so good he seemed surreal.
Love it. Always loved Phil Cool. Miss him on the box. Never got to see him live. At 75 I guess there's little chance of seeing his genius again. We can only hope.

Absolute magic.

Some people have just simply "got it" The X Factor. So comfortable on stage. A complete one off.
Still good after all these years
As awesome as ever.
And still had me crying with laughter.

They don't make them like that anymore, which is a shame. A genuinely funny man overflowing with talent.
he just trounces on modern day comedians. His talent is like capturing lightning in a bottle. I know all of the people he did impressions of in the 1980 and watching them again recently is nothing short of genius.
Brilliant 👍
Absolutely Brilliant ! ….good old humour, to think this what the kids can’t understand, I feel sorry for them. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏼
I was at the show in Stockport. Had the pleasure of meeting him & John Thompson from Cold Feet.
Please release the tour on DVD it was amazing
Even now just sooo funny🥰
Brilliant 👍👍👍😂😂😂
So talented!
That was great. Haven't seen him since the 80's but great comedy.
STILL GOT IT.
I saw him at Stafford Gatehouse Theatre in 1989. Brilliant show.
Great Phil cool. A one off genius.
unlike a lot of celebrities, Phil left them still them wanting more.
Amazing! Phil is brilliant!
Pristine comic timing. Brilliantly funny.
Going to go see him in chorley tonight looking forward to it.
I love this man :-) xx
excellent
I used to live on the same estate as him in Leyland on the Bellway estate top man!!
Everyone hangs their boots up eventually, but Phil here is as cool as ever and mighty funny!
Too cool for telly.
Phil you're the "Coolest" I had totally forgotten just how good our comedy/impersonators used to be. Good to see that you still have not lost
your great sense of observational humour. I was sorry to read of his recent
heart problems. Hope he's better soon. Phil, and all his contemporaries sure
make the so called "Comedians" of today look like what they are (Crap)
That Eric Morecombe at the end was outstanding!
Only one word Mr Cool.
…..Splendid !
He is doing a farewell tour soon looking forward to it.
His impression of a vw beetle was absolutely fabulous. X
His observations about society are so accurate that they are at once funny and painful.
Brilliant comedy.
Brilliant.
used to love his JR ewing
Superb, but these last few minutes are really funny.

The greatest JR Ewing impersonation ever :)
TV is missing people with actual talent today.
It's not easy, you know what it's like....

Or should I go into town and get stabbed ?
LOL ! The man's an absolute legend :D
So funny brilliant
Gordon Brown left the Whitehouse????
How dare you!! I love Vic Reeves and his friend.
Never heard of Phil Cool until I watched Alas Smith and Jones.
True talent!! Now we have….nothing 🤷
Id forgotten all about Phil, then I saw something the other day. Now this. Very funny, Bill Clinton was spot on.
why oh why oh why hasn't this bloke been given more airtime on he telly
Because he has no interest in doing it these days Phil is 72 now and happily retired
Not as funny as he used to be, but still worth a chuckle.
