Phil Wang: UH OH

Phil Wang is playing Exeter Corn Exchange on Friday 14 and Saturday 15 May 2027, with his new show UH OH. It's part of the brand-new tour he's extending into 2027, so if you've missed him elsewhere, these are the dates for the city.

Wang is a Eurasian stand-up who built his following on the airwaves. You'll recognise him from Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News For You, Would I Lie to You?, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Wonka and Drunk History, and he's the regular Asian Correspondent on Dave's Unspun With Matt Forde. He also wrote and starred in two series for BBC Radio 4 with his sketch group Daphne, whose 2015 Foster's Edinburgh Best Newcomer nomination earned him a spot on Taskmaster.

He's been picking up awards since the early days, too: the 2010 Chortle Student Comedian of the Year and the 2011 Comedy Central Live Funniest Student. The Independent called him a 'very promising up-and-comer' back then, and the critics have since stepped up their language. The Guardian describes him as 'one of the stand-up greats of his generation', while Time Out calls him 'a comic who just gets better and better'.

Both nights start at 7.30pm, with doors opening at 6.45pm. Tickets are £39.20, which includes the booking fee. The show is for ages 14 and over and may contain strong language.
