Phil Sweet Comedian
Phil Sweet’s jokes are like a house fire. They are fast, hot, and 5 alarm!
Phil Sweet retired in 2009 and started doing standup after he realized that his whole career was actually 35 years of comedy material. Phil’s shrewd commentary on the modern world gone wacky gives audiences lots to think about and even more to laugh about . Only he could explain what Viagra and the Federal Reserve have in common. He has performed from Virginia to Massachusetts at comedy festivals and clubs like Gotham, Broadway, Laugh Lounge and Eastville in NYC and Catch a Rising Star in NJ. Locally, he’s performed at Helium CC, SoulJoel’s ( Joel Richardson) in Royersford and Reactors CC (Chris Carrol). Along the way, he’s won several comedy contests including “Catch a New Rising Star”, “Eastville’s Next Headliner” and received a Broadway Comedy Development grant. He was a member of two Guinness Book of World Records teams which set records for the Longest Continuous Cabaret Show and Longest Continuous Cabaret on Zoom. Phil also produces comedy benefit shows where he has opened for Sherry Davey, Vanessa Hollingshead, Leighann Lord, Robin Fox and Jackie “the Joke Man” Martling among others.
