2017 Edinburgh Fringe
Phil Wang: Kinabalu
A really funny hour of comedy from Phil Wang. His unique turns of phrase will have you giggling before the main punchlines even arrive. His confident laid-lack style is generating lots of great reviews - turn up to see for yourself that all the praise is indeed justified.
Phil Wang is a son of the British Empire. But in a world suddenly intent on building walls and bolstering borders, what is a Commonwealth man to do? A blistering new hour of comedy gold - that's what. Phil is a laid-back Eurasian stand-up comic with cerebral charm and a dorky swagger. He has been on Have I Got News for You, Live at the Apollo, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and the short-lived but much-loved BBC Three sitcom Top Coppers. 'Certain belly laughs' (Sunday Times). 'Brilliant... His technique is flawless, his observations astute' (Chortle.co.uk).
