...And a bright idea to have Philip Cox’s excellent, killjoy father wander through the audience during the interval singing of all the risks we take in theatre-going: “But we can do nothing/ It’s too late to go/ Since we can’t do anything, let’s go back to the show.”
- Paul Taylor The Independent

".....but the entire cast is given the opportunity to show off their funny bones. I loved Philip Cox's straight-talking dad – "can everyone just stop singing now"

"...Philip Cox is a powerhouse of energy as Bant..."
The Glee Club
Library Theatre Company, Manchester (2008)
"Philip Cox is notable as Bantam, a man who lives up to his name with his strutting and crowing, imbuing his role with such aggression that it makes his comic scenes funnier and the pathos more heartbreaking."
Calum Kerr

"...Philip Cox is a powerhouse of energy as Bant, distraught at losing his family and passionate about his friendships."
Natalie Anglesey
The Stage
"Philip Cox's troubled Bant and family man Scobie (John Elkington) are particularly affecting, bringing out the harsher undertones of Cameron's play without letting it descend into self-pity."

"The acting's spot-on,...in particular, Philip Cox is excellent as Bant, the glue holding the motley crew together."

"...as if Leonard Rossiter and Peter Sellers were performing at their silliest on the same stage."
Die Fledermaus:
"Jeff Clarke's Rocky Horror version of The Bat.... turned out to be rather brilliant, not to mention hilarious (for once) thanks in part to his judicious excision of Frosch, replaced by an extended riff of improvised brilliance by Eisenstein and Frank (Andy Morton and Philip Cox) returning from the ball, still in their guises of comedy Frenchmen: as if Leonard Rossiter and Peter Sellers were performing at their silliest on the same stage."

"...while, in a later twist, the vicar, Dr Daly (Philip Cox), a confirmed bachelor, in a hugely enjoyable performance, finds that desire has absolutely no sexual barriers."

Cambridge Arts Theatre: March 2010
"Before the lively overture is finished, we have had handbells and unrequited love, neatly symbolised by the vicar's panama hat. The pale young curate in question was Philip Cox, by no means ancient enough, but hilarious, especially in his drug-fuelled infatutation with Alexis in Act Two..."

"Articulation is important in any Gilbert & Sullivan operetta, and this cast has crystal-clear enunciation, notably from Philip Cox as the vicar Dr Daly and Simon Butteriss as John Wellington Wells. The former is very good, especially in Time was when love and I were well acquainted.."

" Philip Cox played the "Assistant Tormentor" Wilfred Shadbolt just the right side of creepy,"

"A heartwarmingly funny trip on the charabanc of life in the company of the warm and amusing Violet Sackville -Rhoad.
I recommend an hour in the company of this lovely old lady at the end of a hard day.
Philip Cox is clearly multi-talented, appearing as he does in Going to the Lordy earlier in the evening"
