About Philip Simon
Philip Simon hosts this children's comedy club where kids — and maybe a few parents — take to the stage to share their favourite jokes. Created during lockdown to entertain children and give parents a well-deserved break, this is a hilariously silly show where the young audience members are the stars. Expect silliness, cheeky laughs and almost certainly a few references to poo. Running 50 minutes at the Dirty Martini, suitable for ages 5 and over. Involves audience participation.
Why see this show?
A comedy show where children are genuinely the performers — they get on stage, share their jokes, and own the room. Philip Simon keeps things gleefully silly and inclusive, making this a 50-minute Fringe treat the whole family can enjoy together from age 5 upwards.
