Phil Knoxville

It's the Edinburgh Festival 2010 and Phil Knoxville is performing his one man show, 'The Superhero Sideshow'. The room is buzzing with the largest, loudest, most raucous audience of the festival yet. The crowd has their hands in their mouths and their stomachs in their pants, as Phil starts to perform one of his most dangerous stunts yet. A loud clash is heard from the back of the room, as a 6ft 5" rugby player hits the deck. Girls around the cauliflower eared fainter can be heard giggling, while others claim it's a nothing but a publicity stunt. It isn't.

It's Rock-N-Roll Comedy and Magic at its best.

Enter the crazy world of Phil Knoxville, as he takes you on a roller coaster ride of comedy and twisted magic. Proving a mild mannered comedian can possess superhuman powers, if variety is the spice of life then this will blow your pants off!
