Phill Stephens

Phill Stephens trained as a classical singer at the Newcastle Conservatory of Music in NSW before heading to London for further education and training.  After deciding he would rather perform than teach music, Phill studied acting at Ensemble Studios under Hayes Gordon and veteran tutors such as Lorrae Desmond and Lorraine Bailey.

Phill took the road of musical comedy starring in numerous professional musical comedy productions in NSW & VIC.  A regular on the Mike Walsh show, Phill also made a name for himself as a serious singer whilst refining his real love – comedy cabaret.

Phill started his own cabaret venue in Sydney at Ducks Crossing Neutral Bay where he wrote and performed numerous cabaret shows over a three-year period - Excuse Me Girls (with Bernadette Smith & Lesley Hancock) and A Fractured Melody I, II & III and Forbidden Melody (with Bernadette Smith) before taking the show on the road up the East Coast to perform for corporate audiences.

Phill also played host to a number of other comedy cabaret acts at his venue with the likes of Debbie Does Ducks and Trio Bravo.  Mike Walsh then opened a cabaret room up the road in competition and pinched Phill from his own venue to help him set up the new one and sing with numerous Sydney cabaret personalities - the likes of Geraldine Turner, Helen Zerefos, Jeannie Little and Victoria Nichols.

He then performed in numerous cabaret shows at venues such as The Funny Farm Comedy Festival, Palms on Oxford and The Rose, Shamrock and Thistle Hotel.
