Can we fix Phil Wang's garden relationship? | Outsiding

Phil Wang is one of the UK's sharpest stand-up comics and comedy writers. Born in Stoke-on-Trent before growing up in Malaysia, it's safe to say he's had enough sunshine to last a lifetime. Unfortunately for him, we couldn't switch ours off. Phil joins us for a chat ahead of his brand new tour, Uh Oh, and it's safe to say he wins when comes to first outsiding memories. He got to experience a childhood surrounded by tropical climbs, screensaver worthy landscapes and dangerous creatures, but admits he's still in the first steps of his own gardening journey. He’s still in the trimming and cutting back stage, potentially because he’s so distracted by the antics of urban foxes. Phil does love the outside though, and takes the chance to big up winding paths and the charm of a mid-walk stile. He just has to remain wary of the beasts that walk with him, including an instance with a very sharp and tactical herd of cows. Gardening is still to grab Phil by the horns, then, but will Adam’s gift change that?
