'Philip Simon is never less than hilarious.’
(The Stage)
'With Philip Simon as compere comedy is guaranteed.'
(The Jewish Chronicle)
'He’s good!’
(Kate Copstick)
'Solid, strong stand-up. A Comedy Store act...Definitely one to be reckoned with.'
(Hils Jago, Amused Moose)
"I approached Philip to help me with my wedding speech and he helped me take it to a whole new level. Not only did he add real comedic value but also provided some very intellectual and meaningful ideas which gave the speech a lot of depth and substance. He also worked with me on the delivery of the speech to maximise its effect. The speech was a huge hit and I received a standing ovation. A big thanks to Philip and I would highly recommend to anyone else in the same position!"
(Anonymous Groom)
'If you want to make your event that extra bit special, I highly recommend Philip Simon. He certainly made my 40th birthday go with a bang! His warm approach pre-event, high level of professionalism, along with adding a personal touch to his hilarious comedy by speaking to friends and family beforehand, made the comedy the highlight of our evening. Thank you Philip'
(Ruth Etzioni, Private Client)
'A polished performer who makes everyday subjects funny, even though we sometimes may be embarassed to laugh at his subject 'matter. Excellent stuff...Superb stage presence, very professional and a little bit naughty!'
(Alan Sellers, Great Comedy Nights)
'A delightfully polished performer with a flair for observational humour. His twisted take on the everyday has seen him become established as a darn fine opening act with a laconic delivery that is a joy to behold.'
(Anthony J Brown, Stage Fright Comedy)
'Philip Simon’s set is a joy. A wry observation of life as a nice Jewish boy...Very funny indeed.'
(Cotswold Comedy Club)
'Big consistent laughs. I was impressed with how well Philip played the room and how professional he was on and offstage'
(Bobby Carroll, Comedy Knights)
'Philip was without doubt the act of the night - his crowd work was relaxed and confident and he extracted two applause breaks within his ten minute set.'
(Ray Davis, Court Jesters Comedy)
'Philip Simon is fast earning a respected reputation on the comedy circuit as one of the leading newer comedians. His relaxed style of performance coupled with his hilarious observations have been a winning combination with audiences across the country.'
