A regular face at UK comedy clubs as well as appearing on TV and radio, Philip has also spent a great deal of time performing on cruise ships around the world. He was runner up in the UK Pun Championships 2020, and has written material for shows including Mock the Week & NewsJack.

Louise Atkinson: Mates
You can never complete a night out with your friends unless someone has cried over their ex, you've all made a new best friend in the toilets that you'll never see again, and you've done three laps of the bar looking for Lisa. Seriously though, where is she? Our friends are our chosen family. From the happiest times to breaking up with friends, grab a pint of wine and Louise will recount some of her funniest memories. Hopefully we find Lisa. From the cultural delights of Hull comes Louise Atkinson, a stand-up comedian with a unique perspective of seeing the world through a gravy-stained lens.
