Reviews from Phil’s sell-out 2023 show Lost In Bear County:
"Phil's brain is delightfully weird. His mania is infectious (in a good way) and his storytelling is thought provoking."
– 5 Kitty Fringe Review
"The show is designed to be a different experience each time out, so maybe see it twice if your schedule allows. The joy of Phil’s crowd work alone is worth it."
– 5 Kitty Fringe Review
"A very funny, wild, all over the place kind of show that in the end kind of makes sense and is even a little inspiring and enlightening."
– cherryandspoon.com
"Didn't know what to expect but loved every minute of this glimpse into the mind of Phil! I am so glad my family and I had this experience."
– 5 Kitty Fringe Review
"ADHD Personified. Shows like this are why I Fringe!"
– 5 Kitty Fringe Review
"This is a high energy and very funny show. Gonzales is a genuinely endearing performer..."

Behind the scenes! I GUESS I SHOULD DO THIS?
Look, it's been a while since I've done a show. I'm a little older, a little heavier, and a whole lot... sillier? I guess? We'll go with sillier.
A few years ago, I really started delving into my lack of trust: in myself, in my loved ones, in society, in authority. Pretty much in everything. My therapist was all "What gives?" And I was all, "I think I know what gives." And he was all, "Wanna talk about it?" And was all "Lights up... on an empty stage." AND I WAS BACK IN THE GAME, BAYBEEE!
This show is a comedy and a traumady. It's funny because life is funny. Is it graphic? No. I don't go into gory details. Plus, the gory details? Not really mine to share. The truly terrible stuff is someone else's story.
This is the story of my experience in a brutal, horrible, messed up, manipulative, cult of personality. It's the tale of being the inside outsider. The example. The second best. It's the story of self-worth, and how precious a thing that is.
It's also completely randomized! I spin a wheel to guide me through the story! Come every night! I get bored easily, so I tend to make up the show as I go along. Bring a friend! Want to audience participate? We can do that!
PLEASE COME TO MY SHOW.
