Tez Ilyas review

His new show Teztify is a jumble of familiar, subversive and incongruous humour, put it all pulls together for a powerful denouement.

Generation Game on a Sunday night? That's sacrilege!

In terms of what we should expect from prime time Easter television, this fell well short of the mark. And it focuses the mind on what we should be saying to those responsible for entertainment at the BBC: stop trying to revisit the past. Go away and think up some original ideas.

Brennan Reece: Everlong - The Stand, Glasgow review

As important a part of his show that his personal story is, it would be remiss not to focus on just how funny Brennan Reece is.
