Award winning The Laughienda Comedy Club brings a full lineup to Preston for the very first time, headlined by the HILARIOUS Tez Ilyas! 👏👏👏
Tez Ilyas is one of the most celebrated stars in British comedy.
In 2015 Ilyas achieved phenomenal success with his debut stand up hour TEZ Talks. A sell out run at the Soho Theatre and his own Radio 4 series based on the show followed, with a second series quickly being recommissioned. In 2016 his highly anticipated follow up show Made in Britain went on to sell out every single performance (including extra shows) at the Edinburgh Fringe and gained spectacular critical acclaim, with a smash hit nationwide tour in 2017. His third show Teztify once again delivered a spectacularly powerful, provocative and brilliantly funny hour of topical stand up, delivering to packed out audiences night after night.
Tez has appeared on Live at The Apollo (BBC Two), The Last Leg (C4), Mock the Week (BBC Two), Live From the BBC (BBC Two), The Chris Ramsey Show (Comedy Central), Man Like Mobeen (BBC Three), Live from the Comedy Store (Comedy Central), Kevin Hart’s Live from Montreal (LOL Network), Virtually Famous (E4), The Now Show (BBC Radio 4), Roast Battle (Comedy Central), The Rob Rinder Verdict (C4) and The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice (C4), Celebrity Supply Teacher (CBBC).
★★★★ "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
★★★★ "Radiantly entertaining." The Times
WITH SUPPORT FROM
JENNY HART
Lively musical comedy that just comes out joyously wrong and infinitely dirty, lusciously dark and often quite flirty.
“She’s a bold, brash, shameless presence full of gloriously inappropriate jokes and twisted, dark songs gleefully mocking some awful things. It’s a ribald, vulgar set, full of crude knockabout humour delivered with blunt vitality. And an absolute crowd-pleaser." - Chortle
BEN SILVER
Ben Silver is a 'Masterful joke-writer' and crafts 'Hilariously abstract comedy vignettes' with his absurdist style and linguistic sleight-of-hand.
"He’s dead good. Highly Recommend" - Danny McLoughlin
"Natural talent" - Colin Manford
JACK KELLY
Story-telling stand-up, recently likened to 'a young Jason Manford'
