Lou has supported Sarah Millican, Joe Lycett, Suzi Ruffell amongst many others on tour.

★★★★★ "F**King funny as hell!.... And Masterful at storytelling" - Edinburgh Guide
★★★★ "Proving you can make a stand-up show about literally anything if the performer is skilled enough" - The Scotsman


8pm - 9pm - TEZ ILYAS - WIP
One of the most celebrated stars in British comedy, Tez Ilyas (Live At the Apollo, Mock The Week, Comedy Central, Comic Relief) and Sunday Times best selling author (Secret Diary of a British Muslim Aged 13 3⁄4) is back with his hilarious new show.
As seen on: Live at The Apollo (BBC Two), The Last Leg (C4), Mock the Week (BBC Two), Comedians Giving Lectures (Dave), Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled (Dave), Comic Relief’s Big Night In (BBC One), Live from the BBC (BBC Two), The Chris Ramsey Show (Comedy Central), Live from the Comedy Store (Comedy Central) and Author of: Secret Diary of a British Muslim Aged 13 3⁄4, a Sunday Times Bestseller (2022).

★★★★ ‘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
★★★★ ‘Ilyas 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
★★★★ ‘Radiantly entertaining.’ - The Times

9:30pm - 10:30pm - The Halls of Ridiculous : Unseen Scenes!
Multi-award winning improvised acting masterclass from two of Englands most decorated thespians! This is where YOU the audience provide all the ammunition they need to pepper your faces with comedic delight.
