Phil Wang review
In a quietly confident show with gags from the sophisticated to the stupid, the comic is consistently enjoyable.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 22nd May 2023Phil Wang: Wang in There, Baby! review
In today's world of cancel culture, perhaps food is the safest topic for comedy. Let's hope that this isn't the case for the future. Wang suggests that it's unlikely that he will be cancelled but he also remarks that he is famous enough to make sure that he behaves himself in public. Touch wood that he doesn't behave himself too much.

Emma Sullivan, The Skinny, 6th April 2023Phil Wang review
Much of the humour is absurdist. A lot more is self-deprecating, such as the long monologue about his dick. This, by the way, is a show for adults with plenty of swears and frank discussion about female nipples. Definitely, post-watershed.

Otto Hampden-Woodfall, Glasgow Guardian, 27th March 2023Phil Wang on why comedy flourishes in a serious world
Is there such a thing as aggressive wallpaper? Phil Wang has just appeared on my laptop at the other end of a Zoom call from his home in south-east London sitting in front of a backdrop that is ... well, busy would be a kind description. It's a pattern of possibly red (I'm colour-blind so don't quote me) pills on a white background. For the first minute I think it's actually strobing.
