Gary Delaney as
"the best joke writer in the world," Emo Philips has performed over seven thousand stand-up shows in comedy clubs, colleges, and theaters, including a multi-week run at the
Playhouse Theatre in
London's West End.
In 2018 & 2022-23, Emo toured with "
Weird Al" Yankovic (over two hundred concerts across three continents); Emo will forever remember the standing ovation he received at Carnegie Hall.
Emo has released comedy albums on the renowned Epic label; has had numerous cable specials (including an hour-long one on
HBO); has performed stand-up many, many times on network television in America, Canada, Australia, Ireland, and the UK.
He has appeared in films (most notably as the table-saw demonstrator in
UHF and as Salvador Dali in
Weird: the "Weird Al" Yankovic Story. He has lent his distinctive voice to audio books (including a 2023 collection of poems by
Bob Odenkirk) and to animated TV shows (such as
Slacker Cats,
Doctor Katz,
Adventure Time, and
Home Movies); and (which would've blown ten-year-old Emo's mind) has even been published in
Mad Magazine; but his first love, stand-up, remains his true one.
