CD Reviews
Brilliant!

"This is the single funniest stand up I have ever heard in my life.
I mean, tears were rolling down my face the first time I heard "Downtown Downer's Grove," it's just brilliant.
Its original, unique, super funny and the material hasn't aged a bit. I missed him in his prime (I'm currently 19 and bought this disc about a year ago), but I know he still performs, so hopefully I'll be able to catch him live sometime.
I should also mention that its pretty clean material too, nothing over PG on the whole thing, which is great, as I prefer my comedy clean.
Emo Philip's stuff is golden, its the kind of jokes that are made better by his performance, but would still be laugh out loud hilarious if you were to just read a transcript of his jokes. Being able to pull that off takes talent, way too many comedians rely on outrageous performances to enhance weak material (I'm looking at you, Dane Cook), but not Emo.
I can't understand why this guy isn't more famous, this stuff is classic."
Emo is one of the best

"I saw Emo on TV when I was a teenager - 15 years ago - and I haven't been able to get his bit out of my mind since. Emo is a odd-ball comic with some of the funniest/strangest material you'll ever run into. If your ready for something different, E=Mo2 will satisfy your jonesing for a good-time, laugh-out comic."
One of the funniest men no one knows about

"When I was little my parents would play this Record, not CD or Tape an actual record and I would laugh by head off. When I saw it was available on CD I didn't hesitate to buy it. Emo's timing and story telling quality truly make him a comdedic genius. Even if you have never heard of him get this album and laugh like crazy."
I miss Emo

"This is a great Emo collection that I've played for my teenagers over and over. The guy was fabulous. If only we had this on DVD!"
Soiled pants.

"I saw Emo at the top of his popularity in the late eighties doing the material on this album. It is probably one of the best routines ever created by man or Emo. The jokes and the goofy nerdy persona were in perfect alignment. If only I had been the type to wet my pants when laughing too hard."
