About this deal

Before there’s a mass outpouring of sympathy for Wang, a couple of notes should be made: a) he seems remarkably content with his own company (alongside “an addiction” to playing random strangers on chess.

It’s full of silly jokes but is also moving in Phil’s reflections on his outsider status as a mixed race person in Britain, after moving from Malaysia in his teens. For the movie Better Luck Tomorrow it was a follow up to The Joy Luck Club but it was an independent film with an all Asian American cast. Kangaroos are bag rats, dolphins are sea pig and skunks are stinky weasels - and if that doesn’t encourage kids to learn other languages I don’t know what will!That’s not to say he shy’s away from difficult topics because he doesn’t, he talks openly and with sometimes potentially contentious opinions such as when defends the sitcom ‘Mind your language’ or when he talks about his opinion on cultural appropriation.

Phil Wang review – all kinds of funny from the super-droll Phil Wang review – all kinds of funny from the super-droll

If Malay is like learning to ride a bike, then Chinese is like having to memorise the names of everyone who has ever ridden a bike. I especially like the fact that while he says he is comfortable with the ‘where are you really from’ question when it comes from a place of genuine curiosity, but he recognises that his experience and perspective is personal and that for other people there are good reasons why that question can be offensive.New jokes – and revivals too, in a set that includes routines regular Wang-watchers will have seen before.
