Comedian Tez Ilyas, star of hit BBC show Man Like Mobeen, brings his UK tour 'Teztify' to Blackburn on April 20.
After a stellar run at this 2017’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Tez has been taking 'Teztify' to the UK masses with a national tour.
Having spent a lot of the last year dealing with the ignorance of the aftermath of major terrorist attacks and the resurgence of the far right, Tez Ilyas is ‘teztifying’ against all the assumptions the world has of him. Muslim, a Northerner, a working-class man of faith – all labels he owns, but what does he really think of them?
After his debut Edinburgh show, TEZ Talks transferred to BBC Radio 4 for a full series.
Tez has just finished recording the second series of his radio show Tez Talks which aired in February.
Tez also appeared as a comedy panel guest on the 2017 series of ITV2’s I’m A Celebrity: Extra Camp, hosted by previous contestant Joel Dommett and reigning Queen of The Jungle, Scarlett Moffatt.
