Philip Escoffey

I’ve spent the last ten years travelling the world, claiming to read minds and exploring the areas of belief and need.

I wrote and performed my first stage show, Six Impossible Things Before Dinner at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2008 and followed that with Six More Impossible Things Before Dinner in Edinburgh in 2009. Subsequently, both shows have gone on to have sell out runs at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, The Adelaide Fringe Festival and the Melbourne Fringe Festival with an extended 4 week run at Sydney Opera House.

I also recently directed Tom Binns’ critically acclaimed “Ian D. Montford – Touching the Dead” for the Edinburgh Festival 2010 and continue to develop ideas, which on some level present a rational and evidence based voice in a media where it is often lacking.

I’m currently working on the game show “Impossible?”, a format that I created, co-wrote and presented which challenges what people believe to be possible and how easily persuaded they are. (To be aired on Channel 5 in Autumn 2011).
