Here is a quick collection of clips by stand up comedian Phil Kay. On the opening weekend of the Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art 2010, Central Station followed Scottish Comedian Phil Kay as he embraced the festival (and a couple of by-standers) and did GI.
These aren’t your typical comedy sketches, they are a variety of funny snippets of his antics at the 2010 GI. On this page are my favourite 3 clips and thoughts on each.
Click the little play buttons to watch each one.
1) Phil on Museums and being heard
I’ve started with my favourite. Love the moment of clear discomfort which descends upon the people in the museum when he begins to play. It’s actually a catchy little song with clever lyrics! Funny ending as well to top the video off.
2) Phil muses the humility of pigeons
Quite a good reaction when the birds fly off, a somewhat unexpected impression of pigeons! Rubbish impression mind but it adds to the funniness of it.
3) Love of White Bikes
For some reason just his mumbling on about this uninteresting topic seems funny. Love how he justifies the right hand move as a ‘practical solution’ near the beginning, a signal of how this mans mind works!

No ground breaking moments in this collection but worth a watch as Phil manages to be funny even when not trying to be. He has done 21 Edinburgh Festivals in a row so is a real pro comedian! You can view more snippets on the Phil Kay group, there are plenty more to see. Every friday there is a new release, ‘Phil’s Friday Feast’ – a sumptuous spread of art-inspired comedy antics.
