TV funnyman Phil Wang brings new stand-up show to Derbyshire theatre
Comedian Phil Wang will bring lots of giggles to Derbyshire with his new stand-up show, Uh Oh.
He’s got a moustache which bristles with wisdom, his eyes shine with good humour, his shoulder groan under the weight of being the only cool millennial left.
Phil has been on one series of Taskmaster, one episode of Would I Lie To You? and one minute of the Wonka film. His numerous credits on television include Have I Got News For you in which he compered an episode in 2024, 8 Out of 10 Cats and Live at the Apollo.
The Guardian have described Phil as: “One of the stand-up greats of his generation” and Time Out credited him as: “A comic who just gets better and better.”
See for yourself when Phil tours to Buxton Opera House on October 29, 2026. Tickets are now on sale, priced £28.50. Go to www.buxtonoperahouse.org.uk
Phil won the 2010 Chortle Student Comedian of the Year Award 2010 and Comedy Central’s Funniest Student Award 2011. While studying for an engineering degree at King’s College, Cambridge he served as president of the Cambridge Footlights in 2012. Until 2025, Phil hosted the comedy podcast BudPod with fellow comedian and Footlights graduate Pierre Novellie.
Phil’s live work has included performing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
He has released two Netflix specials: Philly Philly Wang Wang in 2021 and Wang In There, Baby! in 2024.
His BBC Radio 4 comedy special Wangsplaining aired in 2019.
