2017 Edinburgh Fringe
Funz And Gamez: Flogging A Dead Horze
They're back! Why? Money. After a failed BBC pilot and numerous non-appearances on TV and radio, Phil's resurrected the Edinburgh award-winning (Panel Prize still counts) cult hit Funz and Gamez in a last ditched attempt to get on TV. Join Bonzo, Jim the Elf, and Uncle Mick in a brand-new format that Phil's created, called a comedy panel show. Still full of funz, gamez and prizez for the kidz. 'The antihero of kids' shows' (Times). 'Delighting both children and (on a rather different level) adults alike' (Telegraph).

Enjoy 10 minutes of Phil Ellis talking. Phil is one of those people who appear to have been born funny, almost unable to stop themselves from making others laugh. If the comedy gods awarded the most talented with the most success, Phil Ellis would be a household name the world over.
