The comic did not seem fazed by the small size of his audience, though, since his laidback style and ability to interact with the crowd seemed to fit the venue.

     He started with getting to know his surroundings by asking audience members questions about Monmouth, both of the town and the school. Like any new visitor, he was quick to notice the pungent odor that fills the air, and suggested that maybe it comes from an open wound on a pig, or that someone holds a fan up to the rear end of a cow.

     Phillips described how much he loved co-ed dorms, even though he never went to college. He also hoped to "walk around and see nothing" after the show.

     Phillips also enjoyed cracking jokes about the Olympic Games and Jeopardy. He talked about how runners do not even know they are no longer the best in the world until near the end of the race. What made the joke was his overly animated impression of a runner who notices that he’s in last place, a position which Phillips says is "the reason he watches the Olympics," because they’ll soon be racing to retrieve batteries as "the fastest person in Target."

     As for Jeopardy, Phillips likes to "feel dumber after 30 minutes, as [he watches] people leave with bad credit and get a Jeopardy bill at the end of the month."

     The jokester also made a few wisecracks about hip-hop and how Lil Wayne, who he would believe is an alien, looks so old for his age that he is a hip-hop Benjamin Button. Phillips also noted how Michael Jackson’s dancing looks like he’s looking for his keys, and how using a "Coin Star Machine" made him "embarrassed after a half hour of that in front of everyone."

    The entertainer who believes that "two dumb people having a conversation should be illegal" grew up in Washington D.C., but now lives in Los Angeles, CA. He enjoys writing, such as rewriting Forest Gump, and joking with the audience, even if he has to "get them one by one."

     Phillips has appeared on Comedy Central, worked for the Jay Leno Show and "Late Late Show" with Craig Kilborn, headlined the "Comedy Store" in L.A. and co-starred in the film "Semi-Pro" with Will Ferrell.

     He always knew that he wanted to be a comedian, since he was funnier than the people on television, but was humbled to be the first person to perform at the Kennedy Center in front of his idol, Richard Pryor.

     Phillips has performed comedy for 15 years and says the hardest part of his job is seperating "the show from business."

     Future plans for the funnyman include performing at a college in the bay area of California, hoping that he doesn’t "get mugged again by a gangster that [he] can’t even understand in Atlanta, GA, and shooting a pilot for an upcoming FOX television series."
