Emo Philips Quotes

Birth: | 7th February, 1956 |
Nationality: | American |
Profession: | Comedian |
Emo Philips was born in Chicago, Illinois, USA. He is an American comedian. Much of his standup comedy stems from the use of paraprosdokians spoken in a wandering falsetto tone of voice and a confused, childlike delivery of his material to produce the intended comic timing in a manner invoking the 'wisdom of children' or the idiot savant. He has recorded three comedy albums. His album E=mo², recorded live at Caroline's in New York City, won the 1985 New Music Award for best comedy album. He also released an album called Emo in 2001.
