Like the Grumbleweeds Robin Colvills impression of Jimmy Saville, Phil mightve heard stories of Rolf (it was more well hidden) but like Robin he would never have given such an affectionate impression or even done it if he knew the truth.
I saw him in Brighton. This chap in the audience tried to spoil it for everybody by continually heckling; Phil's response was perfect, he said, "It's now 8:30 (or whenever) in the evening, and all the other hecklers have stopped......but the one with the DURACELL battery......" 😂😅😊
Apparently (For what it's worth considering what a twat Harris turned out to be) having seen his impersonation of him, he declared Phil Cool to be by far the most accurate of all the ones that used to try and 'Do' him. Absolutely right!
I love the story about him going down to The Falklands to do a show for the lads in the armed forces. During his performance someone in the audience let out a loud fart. Apparently Phil stopped for a moment and said "That's the first time that I've ever been heckled by a real arsehole!"
One of the times I laughed hardest was Phil doing an impression of George Formby if he was in the modern era (circa 1985). If you could see what I could see, when I'm robot dancin'! 🤣
I remember someone in the 90s doing an impression of George Formby singing a Prince medley. I distinctly remember him standing there with his ukelele, singing, "Twenty three positions in a one-night stand" from 'Gett Off'! 😂 It might have been on The Fast Show, but I'm not sure.
I miss seeing Phil Cool. He was great and had a face that makes Jim Carrey's look stiff. Unfortunately when celebs started literally getting caught with their pants down a lot of the most popular impressions were put in the bin. Not just for Phil but all impressionists.
Phil cool did some great impressions, the problem with his own show was it got a bit tired and worn out, the musical impressions of singers went to extreme lengths including a whole band and lasted 5 minutes or longer, it felt as though what could have been a very funny 20 minute show was stretched to 30 minutes, better placed to have had a couple of other impressionists on to do some short gags instead of a couple of overly long freddie mecury or mick jagger entire song's
Yes I agree. He was an excellent mimic but unfortunately he didn't know when to stop with some of his gags. He used to carry them on for far too long, often after he delivered the punchline.
He made enough money to retire from the stage and concentrate on his family - the people who often get forgotten by successful entertainers. A wise decision.
Rolf was not a great warm character in real life [first hand knowledge], but he was set up and broken by the Met, and we all know that Police Forces are run by perverts and the woke agenda, along with the corrupt media such as the BBC. Rolf was a sacrificial giveaway to distract from the crimes of Savile, Andrew and Chawwles, more of the royals, the Met, and about 30% of Westminster; and the best part?, it's all coming out!
@@ZI-WAN-KHANif memory serves, he suffered a major heart attack in 2000 and was left hospitalised for months. He made a bit of a comeback but retired in 2013, as one of your viewers mentions, due the travelling and touring schedule taking its toll. Bit of a sad ending for such a funny man, but at least he’s still alive, and his comedy legacy is rich indeed
I got to admit that i found this sketch very funny. Phil Cool has got Rolf Harris down to perfection.
Sketch.Did you go to school ?
@@Michael-yd5ry You're quite right. A spelling mistake on my part. I will correct it.
Phil Cool is one of the best impersonators ever.
His facial expressions were an act in themselves.
Absolutely true 👍
After Rolf went inside, Phil had to fall back on his other impersonations: Jimmy Savile, Stewart Hall and Dave Lee Travers.
Not to forget Gary Glitter
Like the Grumbleweeds Robin Colvills impression of Jimmy Saville, Phil mightve heard stories of Rolf (it was more well hidden) but like Robin he would never have given such an affectionate impression or even done it if he knew the truth.
Dave lee travers was never convicted of any crime
@@user-bq9oz4mm5v probably because Dave Lee Travers isn't a real person.
I'd forgotten how good he was😂😂😂😂😂
Wow. I had totally forgotten about Phil Cool !
This was his best impression... genius 😂😂
Yes it sure was a real classic 👍
@@Alfred-fu1ev his Mick Jagger was pretty good too
I saw Phil Cool live in Worthing, West Sussex in 1998. Very entertaining couple of hours.
I saw him in Brighton. This chap in the audience tried to spoil it for everybody by continually heckling; Phil's response was perfect, he said, "It's now 8:30 (or whenever) in the evening, and all the other hecklers have stopped......but the one with the DURACELL battery......" 😂😅😊
Used to watch Phil Cool in the 80's, Extremely funny.
Same here back in the day i never use to miss his shows that came on TV. 👍
Was lucky enough to see Phil at a book signing in the late eighties. I remember a young lad asking him to do his aquaphibian...and he obliged. 😂
He was so funny with his impressions. This is a classic I've been laughing at
He was tremendously talented.
He really was a popular icon for the 80s comedy circuit
Wow, haven’t heard this guys for years
👍👏
He made enough money to quit while he was ahead.
Fantastic impression! It was always a treat seeing Phil getting those glasses and false beard out of his pocket, knowing what was coming! 😂
Just missing a cpl of kids though
He was discovered by jasper carrot absolutely brilliant 👏👏😂😂
Thanks for that valuable piece of information there alansalter well done.
So Carrott served one good purpose, then....
Absolutely spot on
Went to see him at Barnsley many years ago. Phenomenally good.
This has aged well
Best stand up comedian the living legend
Long ago i never missed an episode of his shows on TV in the 80s, plus your right he was legendary.
Brilliant ☺️

What other reason was there that the Catholic Church got Rolf in for the job.
Recommended by Jimmy Savile.

Even funnier than the man himself. He did a version "Bridge Over Trouble Water" in the style of Rolf way back in 1986.

What happened to phil ! Don't hear about him anymore .

Always said about the Ford Sierra
"Can you tell what it is yet?"
Yeah, its a prison cell Rolf....
Turns out Rolf would have fitted in well with the Catholic Church!
What happened to him?
What happened to phil cool, his impressions were good but his patter was humming?
He had a very pliable face.
Bless Rolf. Hounded for Saville's misdoings. Messed up with Saville, we'll get someone else instead.
How Lee Evans be come the most famous thief
No, he committed his own set of crimes, for which he was imprisoned.

What an ignorant comment. Rolf Harris was a convicted sex offender. The British courts not good enough for you?
@@29brendussex offender alert
I suppose it was apposite that a creepy as fuck impressionist did Rolf Harris.

Retired back in 2013

@jindre7547 Thanks for sharing that information with us all. 👍
God he was so unfunny and a creeper
I'm not sure who I dislike more
He actually looks like Rolf.
"Rubber faced irritant" according to Half Man Half Biscuit.
