Phil Butler has always been a popular act, even in the early days when he was serving his apprenticeship in holiday parks, end of the pier shows, pantos and cruise ships. These were happy times for Phil, especially being part of big production shows, where he could show off his other talents like singing and dancing. Soon he found himself starring in these big shows, playing the comic lead in pantomime and seeing his name in lights with shows such as 'Phil Butler's Christmas Party' in Blackpool and 'Seaside Special' which is the UKs number one summer show.

Wanting to explore other avenues and experience new challenges, he joined the UK comedy circuit in 2001, where he is now found closing the show at all the major comedy clubs such as Jongleurs, Highlight, The Comedy Club, The Glee Club, The Banana Comedy Club, Bearcat, Baby Blue, Hyena Comedy Café, Last Laugh, but to name a few. Phil has also had the great honor of performing for our British troops in Iraq, Kosovo, Bosnia, Croatia and several times in Afghanistan.  Phil was amongst the first comedians to perform to the troops on the front line.

Dipping his toe into an acting career he had a cameo role in BBCs 'Hotel Babylon' and a TV advert for the AA. He is currently producing and hosting a Podcast called 'The Green Room' which is recorded backstage on the comedy circuit with interviews and clips of the show.  Past interviews have included; Jimmy Carr, Jim Jefferies, Milton Jones, Rufus Hound and Lee Mack.  It's a free podcast available at
