He was given GCSEs to Brunei’s Jerudong International School. His family moved back to the UK when he was 16, to Bath, Somerset where his mother was originally from. He attended Kingswood School there.
Phil told to Resonate about his career and history and where he said,
“I was born in Stoke on Trent. My mother’s English from Stoke. She met my father in Malaysia but I was born here. After a week of being a baby in Stoke, I flew with them to be a baby in Malaysia and I was a baby there until I was 16 basically. A huge baby, a huge very clever baby. At 16, we came back to the UK when mum got a job in Bath so that became the family home. I did my A-levels there and subsequently went to university at Cambridge. When I graduated, I moved to London to pursue my comedy career.”

Perfect career at age 30,
From Phil Wang wiki, he then studied engineering at King’s College , Cambridge, following his high school, where he also served as president of the Cambridge Footlights. He attended the college’s open auditions and even prepared himself to be the best for college stand up shows. He has been rejected several times but he believes that “refusal is also part of the journey.”
“Cambridge University has its own theatre, the ADC, which is home to all the theatrical societies. Footlights is only one of them. So I had to deal with the other committee members and performers. It was all very democratic. All the shows are cast from open auditions, even the president has to audition. I would still have to resume duties ensure the success of the shows even if I had-been rejected from them. So if nothing else, it was an excellent training ground for rejection, which is the most important skill to have in this line of work. I don’t know if you’d agree?”

Phil never focused on stupid issues which could distract anyone’s mind into anger. He just keep on going what is better for his career.
“I mean I’ve definitely been on the receiving end of the usual Ching Chong ridicules, the ‘Neehao’ which I don’t mind at least that’s correct. Even if it was a ‘Konichiwa’ I don’t mind so much because I suppose I can’t tell the difference between a German person and a Dutch person by sight. I just wouldn’t chance it and say ‘Gutentag’.”
Phil also added,
“think it’s been equally beneficial and detrimental. It cancelled itself out. On the downside, there are no parts really written for East Asians. Black artists still have to fight for representation and they have so much more of a cultural hold than East Asians. Look at the Oscars, where are the East or South Asians nominees? It is much harder to be an actor though because you have to count on parts being created or wait for a casting director to be open to casting a traditionally white part otherwise. As a stand-up who makes his own work, I am in a much stronger position because my ethnicity sets me aside.
I am honest with myself that many of the breaks I’ve enjoyed have been helped by the fact that I am different from middle-class white boys. If you’re a creative professional, your work is inevitably informed by your life experiences, race and culture.”
