So basically - I'm Phil Dodd. I'm a long time lover of stand up comedy and recently I've become a performer of stand up comedy.

Generally, people say I'm funny, apart from my girlfriend who thinks that wrestling is real, so what does she know?

I love to make people laugh, and, let's be honest, I'm bloody good at it. I even make my girlfriend laugh sometimes - I put the news on - she's a bit evil and likes to see people suffer - especially me, which is probably why she doesn't laugh at my jokes.

So I'm from Walsall, which is a shithole. Anyone who's been there knows this. I'm lucky I've made it to 26 without getting pregnant and popping out some kind of inbred baby. Yes, I know I'm a man... but Walsall is the kind of place where that kind of shit can happen.

Walsall is in the West Midlands, not in Poland - that joke is only vaguely funny once a year, not eighty times a week.

I went to Wolverhampton University and got a degree in law, prostitution and narcotics distribution.

My comedy hero is the late, great BILL HICKS, but I am also highly influenced by the following
