Much of his standup comedy stems from the use of paraprosdokians and garden path sentences spoken in a wandering falsetto tone of voice and a confused, childlike delivery of his material to produce the intended comic timing in a manner invoking the 'wisdom of children' or the idiot savant. Philips has recorded three comedy albums. His album E=mo² won the 1985 New Music Award for best comedy album. It was later re-released along with his Live at the Hasty Pudding Theatre album on a single CD. He also released an album called \"Emo\" in 2001. A joke of his was voted funniest religious joke ever in a 2005 online poll. In 2006, he appeared at the Newbury Comedy Festival. He was included in the top 50 of E4's 100 Greatest Comedians, and also appeared number 54 on Channel 4's top 100 greatest standups.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Emo+Philips","playStationPath":"/stations/269605675/play","stationId":269605675,"bioPath":"/music/Emo+Philips/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/W+Kamau+Bell","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ff8/ff84a0bd7d29152f9a8b0000265b0f7b_md.jpg","artistName":"W.
