Tez Ilyas
The grumpiest uncle in showbiz is back.
Blackburn-born British-Pakistani comedian Tez Ilyas is one of the most most celebrated stars in British comedy, and Sunday Times best selling author (Secret Diary of
a British Muslim Aged 13 3⁄4)
Fresh from travelling the world (and smashing it as a top husband and bunny-stepdad), the UK’s leading de-influencer returns with a brand-new stand-up show, Tez Things I Hate About You.
Expect fresh jokes, furious rants, and ridiculous stories — all delivered with Tez’s trademark smart, silly, and subversive humour.
As well as delivering his politically astute stand-up, he is one of the stars of hit sitcom Man Like Mobeen (BBC Three), and has appeared on a host of panel shows, including Mock the Week and The Last Leg, Fighting Talk (BBC Radio 5 Live) as well as fronting his own critically-acclaimed cult-hit satirical series The Tez O'Clock Show (Channel 4). His own sitcom pilot (Blap) Bounty for Channel 4 has amassed over 800,000 views (the most-watched in the strand's 10-year history), his TEDx Talk has over 150,000 views and his Live at the Apollo performance has been watched over 10 million times online.
