Having known of Phil Wang for some years I don't think I've ever seen a full show of his, this was the year to rectify that.
Clearly an experienced performer now at ease with a large crowd, it's an hour of easy comedy with smart observations (I particularly enjoyed Wang's dismay at the Brits' aversion to reheating rice) and autobiographical material, guaranteed laughs in the hands of a skilled joker. Though varied in the material, it feels neatly woven together, even if there isn't any emotional heft or pathos. You can't go wrong with Wang, a safe bet moments of grand silliness.
