“Ilyas has a slickness more reminiscent of US comics, and the gags to back it up, though his most prized asset could yet be his bold, subversive streak.”

About Tez
Ilyas
Tez Ilyas is one of the most distinctive and celebrated voices in British comedy.
Over the past decade, he’s sold out five nationwide tours, become a Sunday Times bestselling author with his debut book The Secret Diary of a British Muslim Aged 13 ¾, and built a loyal global audience through his stand-up, TV work, and online presence.
Tez lit up screens as one of the stars of the hit BBC sitcom Man Like Mobeen. He’s delivered show-stealing appearances on Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, and The Last Leg, as well as starring in his own Channel 4 series, The Tez O’Clock Show. He’s played to packed houses worldwide — from Canada and Germany to Dubai and Australia.
Loved by his community and in constant demand, Tez uses his platform to entertain and inspire — from viral TEDx talks to helping raise millions for charitable causes.

Tez Ilyas’s political stand-up is candy floss with a razorblade inside: sweet and familiar at first, then shockingly, painfully sharp. It’s the kind of manoeuvre that takes serious talent to pull off.
THE TELEGRAPH ★★★★
Radiantly entertaining.
