Phil Wang: UH OH

Phil Wang brings his stand-up show UH OH to The Hexagon on Wednesday 24 February 2027. It's a solo comedy night, with Wang as the only name on the bill.

If you're not familiar with him, he's a British-Malaysian comedian and writer who grew up in Malaysia before returning to the UK as a teenager. He first made a name for himself at Cambridge, where he became president of the Footlights and won Chortle's Student Comedian Of The Year in 2010. Since then, he's built up a steady presence through festival runs and television appearances, including Have I Got News For You, David Letterman, one series of Taskmaster, an episode of Would I Lie to You and a minute of Wonka. The Guardian called him "one of the stand-up greats of his generation."

His act tends to draw on the Asian-British experience, family dynamics and food. He's also written a book, Sidesplitter, and recorded two Netflix specials: Wang in there Baby, filmed at Shakespeare's Globe, and Philly Philly, at the London Palladium. He also hosts the podcast Budpod with Pierre Novellie.

The show is at The Hexagon, Main House, Queen Walk, Reading, RG1 7QF, starting at 19:30. Tickets are £43.50, £38.50 and £33.50.
