Phil Wang interview

"My background has just made me an outsider, whether or not I wanted to be. And comedy is by and large an outsider's perspective. It's about looking at something objectively, something that other people have taken for granted and then making fun of it."

Review: Groan Ups - Theatre Royal, Norwich

Like the characters themselves, it feels as though this show doesn't quite know what it wants to be.
