Phil Cool's Last Ever Show ( Before Retirement )

[@009trifle]

He came down to the Falkland islands to give us a show, halfway through it one of the squadies did a real loud fart, quick as a flash phil said ' that's the first time I've ever been heckled my a real arsehole! '

[@Mackeson3]

@009trifle: Oh you bugger, you've just made me choke on my cornflakes! 🤣

[@tomhamilton5261]

He was one of the best entertainers ever-both on Tv and live. Not forgotten

[@stuartoneill2663]

These videos are a reminder of what comedy was...funny, and thanks Phil, great laughs

[@paddycable1723]

One of the greatest entertainers we have ever had - so much more than an outstanding impressionist.

[@phil2003ashleigh]

Was absolutely brilliant. Genuinely funny and a really nice genuine and honest guy. Good luck in your retirement mate x

[@judebrad]

I was actually at that Dublin gig. Great memories, I believe I still have the Cool-it program somewhere.

[@MrMaxeemum]

Jim Carrey is second best to this rubber faced master. My favourite memories are his lengthening arms routine, his car impressions and obviously the Aquamen impression. He made made me laugh openly so many times, and being a local lancastrian made he me more proud. Love Phil Cool, Thank you for the laughs.

[@petercarey7456]

Oh great I was only thinking yesterday about Phil and how funny he was, the best one was the skit of Paul daniels, , I was proper belly laughing just thinking about it, this man is brilliant.

[@John-yi1mk]

Saw Phi livel several times. he is by far the best impressionist ever.

[@jameswendorff6416]

A little update. He still does occasional local shows, especially a place called Barnoldswick and his son is a great solo artist in his own right like Phil very underrated. Is more his songs than impressions he performs now.

[@davidwhaite3330]

That's great to know James cheers hope he's keepin well funny guy, My dad once booked him for 25 quid a few months before he became famous,

[@tonycharlton4296]

I think he was one of the most talented and entertaining acts I’ve ever seen.

[@johnwinter3978]

No one comes close to Phil , and probably never will. EVER,.

[@29brendus]

I'm Irish and this was hilarious, 'well when you're ready there it is'. Classic.

[@workingboat]

One of the best,we could have seen more of him

[@WaterWorld1]

A truly class act. It's a pity TV dropped him so long ago.

[@SurreyMan0409]

One of the very few people who can do an accurate Terry Wogan. An absolute genius without equal.

[@kuksybee]

Phil Cool is without a shadow of a doubt, one of the greatest comedians/ impressionists/ entertainer this country has ever produced. It's such a shame these TV programmes never or rarely mention him in the list of great comedians of TV and/or of stage. Even for such a small crowd here, he still gives it his all. I saw Ted Robbins in Chorley FC over a year ago. He was hilarious too, talking about his childhood. Where he performed was very similar to Phil here. A cozy setting and a barrel of 😃 laughs. Whoever filmed this video, thank you for preserving a great memory of a great comedian and performer. It would be great to see him back on stage. Unfortunately, the tributes and appreciation for an artist come after a passing in this digital, anti social media world. If there is one petition that should be started is for one more performance from Phil, whether on a big stage or local social club. Thank you Phil for the laughs. You'll always be 😎 Cool

[@adrinathegreat3095]

Unfortunately his dragged out overly long but short on material later tv stuff did that.. Doing an impression of a singer is funny but an entire 5 minute song, twice in a 28 minute runtime impressionist show was to much and felt as though impressions, comedy was taking a back seat to quick fire impressions and funny stories.. We all know that during the musical interlude was when people got up and made a drink or went to the bathroom.. 321 ted Rogers, now its our musical guest, " everyone does something else, two Ronnie's, put your hands together for miss Elaine page, time to take the bins out or finish the crossword. Ratings drop, show gets cancelled as the public tire of someone, that's how it is. You can't compare ratings with today when most only had 3 or 4 channels to choose from back then. And the 10 o'clock news got 5million views.. Today they look on the web

[@karlgoulding1288]

The finest comedian I have ever seen

[@chrisgosling5408]

I am laughing openly now! lucky to have lived through the best

[@DRAINPIPE57]

A classic comedian and impressionist thats been forgotten on tv especially with Gold or dave Start showing his classic episodes again !!

[@ratmanbug]

There's been many great comedians over the years, who have since been forgotton. One I came across recently, was Roy Jay, the "Spook-slither" man.

[@shaundriscoll8840]

this man is fabulous

[@terryquinn2119]

FANTASTIC BETTER THAN MOST

[@lisafarr2317]

Saw Phil live in wales early in his career n he was absolutely fantastic. Original comedy at it's best. 👍👏👍👏👍

[@winniewingnut2169]

I saw him at the assembly rooms at Matlock Derbyshire 😎 Was brilliant ❤️

[@nicksmith3245]

I saw him in Ayr not long before he retired and cannot remember having a more enjoyable time. A genius performer!

[@leepshin]

I had the chance to see him there as well. At the Gaitey was it? Well sorry now that he won't be returning. Just goes to show, you take the chance when it presents itself or risk losing it forever.

[@nicksmith3245]

@leepshin It was there. Can't believe the theatre wasn't packed

[@leepshin]

@@nicksmith3245 Seriously!?? I would have thought the place would be packed out. That's a shame. Probably not enough people in Ayrshire knew who he was, either that or the usual reason. The Gaitey never advertises enough.

[@kmarx7517]

Pure class big Phil 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪❤️

[@michaelheath4392]

Absolutely classic, he was I miss seeing him, he made me laugh. Legend.

[@jamesadcock5235]

He did a great Rolf Harris

[@MrKeeft1]

Such a gentle chap..

loved phils humour !

[@johncorner9295]

So funny.seen him twice..❤

[@davidholmes2283]

I saw him at Spectrum Arena in the late 80's and it was sold out. Can't understand why he disappeared off the main stream.

[@TheBlackHelicopterRevue]

Amazing and inspired

[@colinredpath]

Brill !!!!! lucky to have seen him live !!!! thanks for all the laughs

[@Mackeson3]

The maestro! He was brilliant. Ironic how he retired just before we found out about what his most impression was really like ( ie The Antipodean with the initials RH😮). His restaurant in Ireland experience reminded me of the following : We were farmers and one year we had 6 guys came over from Ireland to pick potatoes. The following year just before we were ready to harvest that years crop 2 of them came to see us to ask if they could work for us again. We asked "Will it be the same gang as last year?" Hows this for a typical Irish answer " Ah well now, it'll be the same gang as last year but two of us will be different!"

[@robertlittle5678]

Brilliant impressionist

[@drchunkybiscuit9973]

A fantastic man & truly underrated. Famous for his Rolf Harris & Alien impressions.

[@biggusdickus5986]

Bet he aint doing Rolf anymore 😂

[@josephlord7543]

what a great man

[@frannieo1707]

Comic genius.

[@MultiMeg101]

[@kevindinham3175]

[@gavinreid8937]

Yeah, so nice to see his mate Jasper Carrott ,back after a heart scare & touring with Bev Bevan! Jasp seamed to give a break to Phil, Punt & Dennis & Chris Barrie! What a show that woulda been!

[@byronelenica8329]

Pure genius.

[@merseydave1]

A Great Entertainer

[@keithdonald6583]

Brilliant! So called present day comedians should hang their heads in shame.

[@MrDaiseymay]

Absolutely, they all relied entirely on obscene words, and when the shock value died, so did they. Where are they now ? in 2019, on panel shows looking pathetic.

[@josephlord7543]

under rated! !!

[@MrDaiseymay]

vastly--see his early stuff, unbelievable.

[@kimandrews2192]

The best, my absolute favorite, with Rob Brydon only being equal in talent.

[@turtlespin1000]

The Irish waiter is quality 😂😂😂

[@williamharrison7797]

Real comedy

[@michaelholdon3093]

Brinscalls finiest, ciderdelic sid teaching him guitar and his last will and testerment written on a toilet roll, so funny and that was many years ago 😂

[@derekwarren6171]

Comedy great.

[@johnhuwroberts7766]

Legend

[@Mackeson3]

Henry Kelly said that he was staying in a hotel in Ireland. He was in his room having a shower when there was a knock on the door "Mr. Kelly, l've got a letter here for yer!" So he replied " Er, l'm in the shower, can you slide it under the door please?" The waiter replied " Ah now, l can't do that sir, it's on a tray!"

[@whocares1409]

With a bit of luck, up and coming comedians will see this vid and learn how it is done.

[@michaelmoran3201]

Class days and times Phil was one of the best STAY BLESSED 🍀

[@leonjay9]

Dammed PA .... someone please sort out that feedback...

[@Mudge07]

Yes, it’s a musical instrument not a prop. Phil actually layering a little finger-picking in with his crafted impressions rather than leaning against it and waiting for it to go out of tune. Thankfully he survived the era of smoke-filled clubs to keep live audiences holding their belly-laughs. A deal more cutting here than the showy, giggles he nurtured in his television act. Cool.

[@DanceySteveYNWA]

Wow, how sad

[@w0bbl3r]

What a shame this guy was forgotten so quickly. A shame he ended up playing such small places when he deserved to be playing bigger theaters as he did in the 80's and early 90's. I think the problem was that at the time he had a very limited stand-up set. The times I saw him do that lizard people Bill Clinton routine, where he takes off the mask and does the distorted alien voice before putting it back on, it did get old after a while. Seems he got some good fresh material here. If he did that more back in the day maybe it would have gone a bit different for him and he would have stayed in the spotlight a bit longer. Anyway, good to see him, despite it being a bit sad he's in such a tiny venue.

[@Crystalquartz964]

It's funny but the canned LAUGHTER DRIVES me NUTS

[@PrivateSi]

Legend.... The funny version if Jim Carey.

[@Luke-vf7et]

Now that Trump's won the US Presidency, Phil's got to come out of retirement!

[@mrt227zxr]

That's not Phil Collins
