NZ Comedy Guild voted PHIL NICHOL - Best International Guest for 2003

TIME OUT BEST COMEDY PERFORMER 1998

Born in Scotland and raised in Canada, Phil Nichol was first known as the guitar playing member of top classic musical comedy trio 'Corky and The Juice Pigs'. Phil's solo performances have earned him huge critical acclaim and many awards. He is a Tasmanian devil with a guitar, wickedly funny songs and superb improvisational skills. Phil is also a superb character comedian performing greasy fist Joe, Kenny Smiles and his own rendition of Bjork as part of the Lenny Beige show.

Phil spent five and a half months during 2002/2003 in TABOO in London's west-end playing the role of Philip Sallon. This was followed by playing Juror 10 in the Guy Masterson's acclaimed production of TWELVE ANGRY MEN which played to sell out crowds at the Assembly Rooms.

He recently starred in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest at the Gielgud Theatre with Christian Slater and in The Odd Couple at the Assembly Hall with Alan Davies and Bill Bailey.

At the Edinburgh Festival 2005 Phil performed a brand new solo show "Nearly Gay" for which he has garnered a host of rave reviews.
