I went to this show! The lady at the ticket booth said "50 pounds" and I said "40 pounds"....

[@sinbrown1501]

Wouldn't even go to the show if it was free. I've been through 3 videos..laughed 0 times...

[@rinoz47]

So then I paid 50 pounds

"my father had a case of wanting to move to the UK" ah yes, like a true Malaysian

Yooooo I just found out he's dad is from Sabah!!!

[@caneofsomaria]

That Chinese whispers gag is a masterpiece

[@Towkeeyoh]

Damn that whispers joke was good

[@MrSoleyn]

Idgi? Is it a reference?

[@prehistoricworld_]

@@MrSoleyn reference to the game Chinese whispers. But because he’s Chinese it’s just ‘whispers’

[@katiemayyy710]

@@christinalaw3375 “Chinese whispers” is like the game “telephone” in the US. (But then of course he dropped “Chinese” from it for the joke.)

[@cassandrac.0166]

This guy is brilliant!

[@BeeWhistler]

Why didn’t he do jokes like these on the Seth Myers show? This was much funnier. Not sure what people think American audiences get but I got all of these.

[@dananabread6632]

phil!

[@chrisisaaclangan]

Phil's actually English-Malaysian but there aren't enough Malaysia jokes for a routine.

[@samhayday6640]

Ethnic Chinese make up around a third of the population of Malaysia.

[@deepcrunchy]

He's ethnically Chinese

[@watching99134]

Maybe he makes Chinese-Malaysian jokes when (if) he plays in Asia (although if he grew up in the U.K. that would be his reference point for humor).

[@LongLivetheCapitalist]

He is not Malaysian, he’s half Chinese. You can say he dad was from 🇲🇾. Cuz 🇲🇾 has Malaysian and Chinese.

[@katrinatozer7026]

His dad is Chinese Malaysian actually. His mum is English.

[@criminally_vulgar]

I love how at the end of their sets, comedians always say "I've been..." as if they're not going to have that name once they walk off stage! Does that make sense, or is it just my wierd brain?

[@GeorgieBonsoir]

@Jasiah Devin I've got to say, this is a decently well thought out scam, but it is also one of the most transparent attempts at scamming I've ever seen. Keep it up

[@ChirumboloFilm]

@@GeorgieBonsoir I don’t understand any of this.

[@GeorgieBonsoir]

@@ChirumboloFilm The scammer has since deleted their comments, but I assure you, they were bad.

@@GeorgieBonsoir Thanks! I thought there was a joke that went completely over my head.

Audience is either too nice or this is a dream.

[@Ravianant12]

@@christinalaw3375 it's hard to get that response by telling those jokes.

[@taserrr]

Damn I've seen Phil on panel shows and really liked him, he made some great jokes on 8 out of 10 cats but I didn't laugh a single time this routine. Very predictable puns that went on for too long. Also I think he presented jokes much better on the panel shows, stage fright perhaps?

[@weldon29]

This is quite old

[@mehcol]

Is there any of his ' comedy ' about him not mentioning ' Chinese ' ?

[@spelunkyboy]

Not sure what offends you. But lovely to see he's got the BNP on him

[@mehcol]

@@spelunkyboy Dear me.

[@sinbrown1501]

Trying so hard to laugh... I just dont think hes funny. At all.

[@user-tz9jh6pv2j]

ok incel

[@Aname550]

Maybe you shouldn't "try" to laugh, thats kind of weird... Trying can make something more difficult, you know, like when you try to take a shit before a long trip, nothing comes out, but halfway through the trip the feeling comes unexpectedly...

[@watching99134]

To each his own

[@jusho9]

no need to tell us that you have no taste, it's not your fault.

[@fendybendy6466]

you could just... watch a comedy video you like instead of trying to force yourself to laugh...?
