Emo Philips @ The Comedy Lounge

Legendary joke-writer Emo Philips (toured with Weird Al) plays Boise — Nov 20 & 21 at 7PM (doors 6). Described by Jay Leno as "the best joke writer in America" and by British comedian Gary Delaney as the best joke writer in the world, Emo Philips has performed over seven thousand stand-up shows in comedy clubs, colleges, and theaters, including a multi-week run at the Playhouse Theatre in London's West End. In 2018 and 2022–23, Emo toured with "Weird Al" Yankovic (over two hundred concerts across three continents); Emo will forever remember the standing ovation he received at Carnegie Hall. Emo has released comedy albums on the renowned Epic label and has had numerous cable specials, including an hour-long one on HBO. The Lounge has a 2 drink minimum, but don't worry — we have LOTS of options both with and without alcohol.
