Prepare to cringe yourself inside out at Chris Philp’s mortifying Tory Conference comedy stylings – 17 one-star reviews
Chris Philp, the Shadow Home Secretary, has been entertaining the few attendees that have bothered to turn up to the annual Tory Party Conference by adding’jokes’ to his speech to spice things up.
With the Tories currently polling lower than ever in their 191 year history, maybe it’s not his fault that his audience didn’t seem much in the mood for belly-laughs and guffaws. Or maybe it is. It’s certainly fair to say that he died on his arse.
Thanks to Best for Britain for sharing. Hold onto your sides!
If I cringe any harder at the Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp's stand-up comedy routine, I may fold in on myself, collapsing into a PSR-J0952–0607-style neutron star of vicarious embarrassment. ~AA pic.twitter.com/pdKkEh9asJ

Seeing Chris Philp’s speech absolutely bomb at Conservative Party Conference has cheered me up this morning.
Speaking to a practically empty room, cringeworthy jokes that don’t land & the shots of the audience show them looking at their phones, or just completely & utterly bored.— Cllr Michael Unett (@MichaelUnett) October 7, 2025

Not a car crash- more a motorway pile-up !
Chris Philp addressing Tory Conference.
Garbled delivery , jokes that don't land – insulting the PM and Chancellor to the occasional mild sprinkling of applause.
Not his finest hour.
It was embarrassing to watch.#ToryPartyConference— Clare Hepworth OBE (@Hepworthclare) October 7, 2025

Chris Philp dying on his feet at the Tory party conference.
He has the timing of a drunken, tone deaf, karaoke singer.

Chris Philp is currently delivering the most low energy speech in the history of party conferences.

I’m not saying there’s barely anyone watching Chris Philp’s conference speech, but the applause he’s getting sounds like a 1st round afternoon audience at the World Indoor Bowls Championships. #skynews

Chris Philp just needs to end with "youve been the best" and run off the stage
