Customer Reviews
Backstage sounds like a lot of fun
Phil Butler gives us a great glimpse into what is going on behind the scenes, as well as what is going on with his guests. Always delivers a laugh. Nothing more fun that listening to TRUE improv with great comedians poking fun and having a great time. Keep up the great podcast Phil!
Saw Phil at the Chicago Bar in Zug, Switzerland tonight (3-Nov-2009)
Briliantly funny and went down a storm despite the rather small audience and mixed nationalities. Thouroughly enjoyed the show Phil thanks so much for making the effort and coming over to Switzerland to entertain us. Hope to see you again. Now going to listen to this backlog of podcasts :-) Winning the audience joke prize was great too! All the very best, Paul.
The Green Room gives you the inside track on comedy
Consistently brilliant interviews with the cream of comedians giving you the real inside track on comedy and the comic industry. Paul Butler is a warm and friendly presenter and very funny in his own right. The excerpts of routines are also hilarious, a cracking listen, highly recommended!
