Phil Nichol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phil Nichol is a Canadian comedian and actor. Born in Scotland, but raised in North America, he first found fame as a member of the musical comedy trio Corky and the Juice Pigs.
A sharp improviser with or without his guitar, Phil is a wild ball of energy onstage.
His stand-up routines often include musical elements, with Nichol performing songs on his acoustic guitar. He is perhaps best known for the song "The Only Gay Eskimo (In My Tribe)". In 2002, his Edinburgh Fringe Festival show Things I Like I Lick was nominated for the Perrier Award and in 2006 he won the if.comeddie, successor to the Perrier Award, with a show entitled The Naked Racist which he has performed at The Stand comedy club.
Now resident in the United Kingdom, he is finding more time for 'straight' theatre work, as well as stand-up comedy.
