Kaizen Komedy

Emo Philips is known for telling jokes that are as absurd as his delivery of them. With his constant shifts in tone and fidgeting of his body, he comes off as a hyperactive child with the perspective to match. His jokes are dark and intelligent, often arriving at his punchlines from very literal interpretations of his setups. He's a comic that isn't mainstream, but is often praised by his fellow comics. The Kaizen Crew are pretty big fans now themselves
