    “Book Descriptions: “But where are you REALLY from?”

    Phil Wang has been asked this question so many times he’s finally written a book about it.

    In this mix of comic memoir and observational essay, one of the UK’s most exciting stand-up comedians reflects on his experiences as a Eurasian man in the West and in the East. Phil was born in Stoke-on-Trent, raised in Malaysia, and then came of age in Bath – ‘a spa town for people who find Cheltenham too ethnic’.

    Phil explores the contrasts between Eastern and Western cultures and delves into Britain and Malaysia’s shared histories, bringing his trademark cynicism and wit to topics ranging from family, food, and comedy to race, empire, and colonialism.

    Sidesplitter is a hilarious and incisive look at being mixed race and belonging to two home countries at once.”
