Sidesplitter

Reviews

A book packed with witty, profound and candid reflections on race and belonging Phil Wang makes me laugh out loud with every single thing he does and this book is no exception Sidesplitter is elegantly written and unexpectedly moving Phil Wang is one of my all time favorite comedians, a true original. His comedy and words here are a hilarious breath of fresh air we all need Phil Wang is as original a writer as he is a comedian - Sidesplitter is predictably hilarious, but also quietly moving Phil Wang runs headlong towards difficult subjects, firing off jokes as he goes. This brutally funny book will appeal to anyone who's ever felt like an outsider. A beautiful book about home, history and family. Told with Phil's trademark sharp wit and deadpan humour it captures the nuances of his experiences perfectly. A razor-sharp dissection of cultural connections, divides and differences. And yes, it's side-splitting funny People often ask Phil Wang 'But where are you really from?' I can confirm, after reading Sidesplitter, that the answer is 'Funnyland'. A terrific writer. I've laughed out loud at least once on every page Funny and disarmingly moving... Britain's most original and promising young comedian A funny and moving look at what it means to be of dual heritage Eloquently laced with laughs and bittersweet observations. Expand reviews
