Phil Hanley at Pittsburgh Improv

Phil Hanley brings his distinctive blend of stand-up and crowdwork to the Pittsburgh Improv. Originally from Oshawa, Canada, and now a fixture of the NYC comedy scene, Hanley has appeared on The Tonight Show and released his own special, Ooh La La, on YouTube. His performances are marked by extensive audience interaction, earning him the description 'master of crowdwork' from Time Out.

At the Pittsburgh Improv, guests can expect a polished, engaging show in an intimate club setting. Hanley's comedy often draws on his personal experiences, including his advocacy for dyslexia awareness, as detailed in his memoir Spellbound. With a cool, collected pacing and a nebbishy persona, he creates a relaxed yet lively atmosphere perfect for an evening of laughter.
