Phil Wang has announced an extension of his first nationwide tour, with his new critically-acclaimed sell-out Edinburgh Festival Fringe show Kinabalu. 17 dates have been added from 8th February 2018, after multiple shows have already sold-out on the first leg which concludes with a 10 night run at the Soho Theatre from 28th November - 9th December. Phil is a son of the British Empire. But in a world suddenly intent on building walls and bolstering borders, what is a Commonwealth man to do? A blistering new hour of comedy gold - that's what.

The Eurasian stand-up's cerebral charm has seen him quickly become established on the airwaves. In the last year alone, Phil has appeared on Live at the Apollo (BBC2), Have I Got News For You (BBC1), Would I Lie to You? (BBC1), 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown (CH4), The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice (CH4), Dave's Unspun With Matt Forde (as the show's regular Asian Correspondent), Jack Dee's Inauguration Helpdesk (BBC2) and Drunk History (Comedy Central). He has also written and starred in two series for BBC Radio 4 with his 2015 Foster's Edinburgh Best Newcomer Award nominated sketch group Daphne.

An internationally-acclaimed live act, Phil has performed three solo stand-up shows (2015's Philth, 2014's Mellow Yellow and 2013's Anti-Hero) in the UK as well as overseas at festivals including Montreal Just for Laughs Festival and Melbourne International Comedy Festival. In 2016 Phil toured Asia - performing in Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia and Singapore.

Previous television appearances include The John Bishop Show (BBC1), Russell Howard's Stand Up Central, Comedy Central At The Comedy Store (both Comedy Central) and a regular role in the BBC3 cult sitcom Top Coppers. He has also appeared on Funniest Moments of 2014 (Channel 4), Three at the Fringe (BBC3) and on Fresh From the Fringe and Best Behaviour (both BBC Radio 4) and the Comedy Live Lounge (BBC Radio 1).
