VOD Reviews: Gregori Viens ‘s PUNCHING HENRY gives you a front row seat to the unique comedy mind of Henry Phillips
Phillips is not a slapstick, broad comedy guy. His humor reels you in and teases you into figuring out “where this is going” before he lowers the boom. Persona-wise, Phillips revels in the same. Soft-spoken, perpetually befuddled over the behavior – either lacking in reasonability or understanding or flat-out rude – of those around him, he moves like a mild-mannered bull in a china shop as he tries to accomplish the simplest of tasks.
