Since then, Phil has won multiple comedy competitions, headlined comedy clubs coast to coast, and become the national voice of Hungry Howie’s Pizza commercials. His work has been featured on Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Tubi, and in 2024 he was selected to perform at the prestigious Netflix Is A Joke Festival.
