About Me

Phillip Wilburn Originally from the great state of Texas, Phillip is known for his ability to imitate almost any voice, from Tom Cruise to George W. Bush, and everyone in between. The LA Times said Phillip's George W. Bush is "played to squinty eyed perfection.” He has done voice work for "Dragon Ball Z" on the Cartoon Network and the "Lupin The Third" movie series. Phillip also produces and stars in viral videos; you can see him weekly doing characters and impressions on Funny or Die. His video "Leave General Petraeus Alone" received over 100,000 hits in just one day; MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann used it to open a speech by President Bush, and the video was also featured on the network’s Hardball with Chris Matthews. Phillip can be seen on stage in Big News at the IO West every Sunday night at 10. Big News, created by Michael McCarthy, is a brand new sketch show each week based on the news, best described as SNL meets The Daily Show live on stage. In each show, Phillip plays many of that week’s newsmakers, from Hollywood to Washington DC. When he’s not playing “The Decider” on stage, he is making decisions to help lead the Big News cast and writers toward the continued success of the show.
