2017 Edinburgh Fringe
Tez Ilyas: Teztify
Tez Ilyas feels like he's constantly on trial. It's time to teztify against all the assumptions the world has of him. Armed with his trademark cheek and uncompromising approach, don't miss this slick, smart and typically subversive show. Star of BBC Radio 4's TEZ Talks, BBC Two's Live from the BBC and BBC Three's Man Like Mobeen. 'Ilyas has a slickness more reminiscent of US comics, and the gags to back it up' (Guardian). 'Radiantly entertaining' **** (Times). 'A vital discussion of some of the most difficult issues facing this country' **** (Telegraph).
