Line Up

The star of The Mash Report and Austentatious returns to Gits and Shiggles. As seen on Live at the Apollo, QI, Mock the Week and Would I Lie to You?

"Such a good writer" ★★★★ The Times

★★★★ Standard

"Beautifully crafted and performed...endearingly frank and funny...tears of laughter" - ★★★★ Guardian

"Sometimes cynical, often rude, always funny. Great comedic timing and an irrepressible sunniness make for one of the nicest hours you could spend at the Fringe" - ★★★★★ Shortcom

"The audience laughs until it starts to hurt...a perfect hour of comedy" - ★★★★★ Broadway World

One of the sharpest and funniest politically minded comics working in the UK. As seen on Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, The Last Leg, Live from the BBC, Man Like Mobeen and now the host of his own Channel 4 show The Tez O' Clock News.

"Radiantly entertaining" ★★★★ The Times

"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

"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

The winner of the 2019 Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show - the biggest prize in comedy - after previously being nominated in 2017.

Jordan Brookes is unlike any comedian you will have ever seen, and over the past few years has developed a reputation for being unconventional, uncompromising, and hilariously unforgettable, as well as picking up many awards and nominations.

Expect the unexpected from this genre and body bending, critically acclaimed and unique comic voice.

"Refuses to play by the normal rules of comedy... delivers one of the comic coups of this year’s fringe" ★★★★ The Guardian

"Beautifully bold" ★★★★ The Times

"There’s nothing quite like this on the Fringe, with Brookes managing to be artistically ambitious without being self-indulgent. What better way to kill time?" ★★★★ Chortle

"Delightful cheekiness" ★★★★ The Skinny

"Another convention-busting hour from a singular talent... beautiful physicality, probing intelligence and unexpected laughter" ★★★★

Nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2019 Edinburgh Comedy Awards for his show The Car Park, Huge Davies' brand of dark, funny, musical comedy has seen him rise up the comedy ranks.

"A masterful craftsman of comedy" ★★★★ Chortle

"Bizarre, lunatic charm" ★★★★ The Skinny

"Huge Davies is unique and brilliant. He is absolutely destined for great things" ★★★★★ Broadway World

Award-winning comedian and animator Alasdair Beckett-King makes his Gits and Shiggles debut, fresh his critically acclaimed run at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe Festival with his show The Interdimensional ABK, which has one of the best promos ever (watch it HERE)

"Delightfully idiosyncratic" ★★★★ Fest

"A singular and truly distinct act, Alasdair Beckett-King creates his own multi-faceted world" ★★★★ Scotsman

"Magnificent, wonderful and hilarious comedy" ★★★★ The Wee Review
