Phil cool used to live near to me in leyland for a while and he sort of knew my mum and dad not really well but i remember at the height of "cool it" fame they came home from a night at the pub with his autograph on a beer mat. He moved shortly afterwards as he went into out local shop (for anyone near moss side the shop is r.s. mccoll next to the chemists and the chinese chippy) and sort of made daft faces at 1 of the shop workers that recognized him, she called him a dickhead and he left.
Phil Cool certainly is my favourite comedian, and his impression of Rolf Harris really 100% sounded like him, and I couldn't stop laughing, Thank you for uploading this.
I'm 22 and a big fan of Phil Cool. His impressions of Rolf Harris, Mick Jagger and Rik Mayall have never been bettered.
He his the greatest impressionist ever, apart from Jim Carrey there's no other Comedian who does what Phil does.
Phil Cool is a proper Comedian with real Comedy talent, not like the parade of overrated, unfunny comedians we get today. Russell Brand is definetly one of them and so is Michael Mcintyre.
Get Phil Cool back on TV, then he can show all the others how it's done.
Brilliant! I used to love this guys shows . Apparently Rolf Harris himself says Phil Cool is the only one that does a really good and accurate impersonation of him.
Excellent impersonation! Very good detail, really looks and sounds like him!
My favourite Rolf Harris impersonation is, of course, Graeme Garden in the Goodies episode "The Stone Age", that is the "Bristo and Rolf Harris's grannie" sketch. And "Scatty Safari" of course. But that's for the humor, not for the resemblence, which is more detailed here.
Friggin genius phil coll was amazing. My mum and dad used to go drinking with him in the "dunkirk hall" pub in leyland in the 80s when he was famous with his "cool it" show. I didnt believe they knew him but 1 night they brought home this beer mat with his signature on it.
We saw Phil Cool at the Leamington Spa Centre last night (14thFeb09) on the Fairport Convention Winter Tour. If you can, you really have to catch it! Phil was brilliant and the whole night was brilliant. Google the tour to get the dates.
I'm trying to dig out the Phil Cool 'Question Time' scetch from the early 80's where he did some excellent impressions of David Bellamy and Arthur Scargill amoungst others. Anyone able to post it?
One of the most polished and accurate impersonations I have EVER seen! I was laughing so much at the impersonation, the monologue wasn't even relevant!
hey this is great. I was thinking of this guy the other day and was wondering what happened to him. I have a broken memory that he used to do an impression of Lt. Columbo? Do you know if he ever did such a thing? Cheers.
Hi, thanks for the kind comment. He's more or less retired from the stand up comedy scene but still does the odd concert at his home area. And yes, you're right in saying that he did do an impression of Columbo. I have done a video of him doing that.
@idj20 Great video. I notice he is doing some gigs in Scotland in Feb. I wonder how much he has aged? I remember watching him on BBC as a kid - 33 now
i remember him on one of his bbc shows,where he did an oscars awards routine ,impersonating people like john wayne,burt lancaster,kirk douglas etc absolutely top draw. pascanal
Thanks for the latest Cool vid Ian - i don't really remember his ITV stuff - probably because i don't think it worked so well and it didn't have the spark of his BBC series - where he was really up and enthusiastic and that came across [:o)
Hi, Chas. Glad to see someone does at least appreciate Cool's humour! I do have one other video of him doing Rolf Harris in an earlier stand-up comedy routine. I'll see if I can find it and stick it in youtube.
And so is Steve Googan. HE's what you call an overrated unfunny "comedian" (for want of a better word). At least Phil geniunely does make me and everyone else I know laugh, so I'm afriad you're pretty much in the minority.
I once found a dead wading bird, and I wrapped it up and posted it to Phil. Never got a reply.

Phil Cool is excellent. I'd much rather watch him than, say, Russell Brand.
By the way: here's a Top Tip from Viz magazine. Spoonerise Rolf Harris's name. Hey presto! You're talking in a dog's voice.
