One of the strangest (in looks, presentation, and attitude) of the current crop of new comics, Emo Philips has reached something of a semi-stardom through his numerous cable-TV appearences. He takes the warped sensibility of Andy Kaufman to the next extreme. A bit like listening to an extraterrestrial doing schtick, and just about as funny in spots. Definitely not everybody's cup of tea. ~ Larry Lapka
