# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Emo Philips
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 14 Nov, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Some comedians tell jokes. Emo Philips builds them, like tiny, beautifully engineered traps that snap shut three seconds after you think you’re safe. Expect a high, wavering voice, a pageboy haircut, a look of pure innocence, and punchlines that come at you from directions you didn’t know existed. You’ll laugh, and then you’ll laugh again on the ride home when you catch the second layer. Nobody else on Earth does comedy like this, and he’s coming to Boston for one night.
Emo Philips
See legendary comedian Emo Philips live in Boston! Described by Jay Leno as “the best joke writer in America,” British comedian Gary Delaney as the best joke writer in the world, and “Weird Al” Yankovic as one of the funniest people on the planet, Emo Philips is a true original and one of stand-up comedy’s most distinctive voices.

Since beginning his comedy career in Chicago in 1976, Emo has performed more than 7,000 times throughout the English-speaking world, including a multi-week run at London’s West End Playhouse Theatre. His career includes award-winning comedy albums, multiple cable comedy specials, including an hour-long HBO special, and countless appearances on television in the U.S. and U.K.

Emo has also appeared in films, most notably as the table-saw demonstrator in UHF, and has lent his unmistakable voice to animated favorites including Adventure Time, Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, Home Movies, and Slacker Cats.

But there’s nothing quite like seeing Emo Philips do what he does best: live stand-up comedy. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see one of comedy’s most celebrated joke writers live in Boston.
