Eaten by Lions review
A great cast including Johnny Vegas and Asim Chaudhry bring a good dose of fun to the new British comedy Eaten By Lions, which premieres at the Edinburgh International Film Festival today. But director Jason Wingard can be clunky in his handling emotional moments - which lean towards over-sentimentalised cliché - and occasionally the comic ones, too.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 21st June 2018Review: Phil Ellis is Trying
The general fashion is for comedies to be about some underlying theme, or offering some insightful personal perspective. But if you know Phil Ellis from his stand-up, you won't be surprised that his first Radio 4 sitcom is an unabashedly old-fashioned gag delivery service.

Phil Ellis, Chortle, 5th August 2017#EdFringe17: Phil Ellis Has Been on Ice
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.
