“If I hadn't bumped into Phil that day, I might have never done stand-up again. I don't tell him that because he'll ask for half of my money.”
Paul SmithLiverpool Echo, April 2026 (opens in a new tab)on the chance meeting with Phil that got him back into stand-up at Hot Water “spends most of his stage time getting to know individual crowd members”
