Philip Simon is a stand up comedian, actor and writer. He has most recently been gigging throughout the UK, as well as appearances in New York, Scandinavia, Europe, the Middle East and Auckland. He has also been working as a rehearsal guest on Taskmaster for Dave, The Imitation Game for ITV and BBC TV’s Mock the Week, for which he has also written a number of broadcasted jokes.
As well as writing sketches for BBC Radio 4 Xtra’s Newsjack and The Canal Cafe’s Newsrevue, Philip is in high demand as a regular contributor of material to other comedians on the circuit, working with them to edit existing jokes and develop new ideas.
As an actor, Philip trained at the Guildford School of Acting, since when his screen and stage roles have included “Any Human Heart” (Channel 4) “My Family” & “According to Bex”, (BBC), “Rose and Maloney” (ITV), “Peppa Pig’s Party (UK Tour & West End), “The Winslow Boy”, (UK tour), and several productions at Theatre Royal, Windsor.
He has appeared in a number of television commercials, most recently for Enterprise Car Rental and Go Compare, and other companies including Nestea, 5 On Demand, Argos, Currys, Heathrow Airport, Hellman’s, KFC, McDonalds and Mentos.
Having been on the circuit for four years now, Andy Gleeks has established himself as an act who delivers, firstly and foremost, as a ‘natural MC’ (Geoff Whiting), who ‘effortlessly engages the audience…with ‘warmth and charm’ (House of Stand-up). He can be trusted to steer a night into, and through, funny waters each and every time, due to his ‘cracking ad libs’ (Notts Comedy Review).
When not mcing, Andy has a bulletproof club set, high on gags, focusing on his past and present lives in Ireland and England. His conversational and anecdotal style is rip roaringly self deprecating, and Andy enjoys ‘flitting seamlessly between topical and observational comedy’ (Lassman Productions) and has a real facility for language, but, above all, self laceration. Andy works on a variety of bills and is an act who all audiences warm to due to his relaxed style, confident delivery, his searing honesty, his quick wit, his ‘great turn of phrase’ his ‘good comedy mind’ (Glee Club), but most of all his idiocy (Andy Gleeks). He is definitely an act considered ‘one to watch’ (House of Stand-up).
But most of all, he is an act who is, undoubtedly, a fan of commas.

Two comedy minstrels who have supported comedy giant Tom Stade. They have appeared on BBC Radio 4 comedy show Dr Phil’s Bedside Manor and were nominated for the Midlands Comedy Awards in 2021 (2nd place)
Due to their popularity, they have been on many sell-out tours and are a very difficult act to book.
