Tez Ilyas: Tez Things I Hate About You

About Tez Ilyas: Tez Things I Hate About You

The grumpiest uncle in showbiz is back. 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.

Expect fresh jokes, furious rants, and ridiculous stories — all delivered with Tez’s trademark smart, silly, and subversive humour.

Star of Man Like Mobeen (BBC Three), Live at the Apollo (BBC Two), Fighting Talk (BBC Radio 5 Live) and Sunday Times bestselling author of The Secret Diary of a British Muslim Aged 13 ¾.

Reviews

“Tez Ilyas’s political stand-up is candyfloss 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

“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.” ★★★★

The Guardian

“Radiantly entertaining.” ★★★★
