Sidesplitter

Phil Wang was born in Stoke-on-Trent, raised in Malaysia, and then came of age in Bath - 'a spa town for people who find Cheltenham too ethnic'.

Phil takes an incisive look at what it means to be mixed race, as he explores the contrasts between cultures and delves into Britain and Malaysia's shared histories, bringing his trademark cynicism and wit to topics ranging from family, food, and comedy to race, empire, and colonialism.

'Phil Wang is as original a writer as he is a comedian. Sidesplitter is predictably hilarious but also quietly moving' — Sathnam Sanghera

'A razor-sharp dissection of cultural connections, divides and differences. And yes, it's side-splittingly funny' — Adam Kay
