Description

Line Up:


MC Colin Manford

Colin Manford is a North West based comedian who also happens to be Jason’s little brother!

An accomplished writer, actor and presenter who just loves to tell stories from his own unique perspective, all areas covered from his failed relationships to his weird and wonderful family life and more. No-holds barred comedy at its finest.

A very strong MC who can connect with any audience and can adapt to any situation, enjoying a growing reputation which has seen him booked not only in countries such as The Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovenia, Malta and Romania but also the UKs top clubs.
He has written for 8 Out of 10 Cats and Walk on the Wild Side and his debut one man show had 2 sell out nights at the 2010 Manchester Comedy Festival.
 
Tales of student and family life. A funny guy. Holding his own on stage he bridges the gaps between the generations.
Mirth on Monday 

Naturally and effortlessly funny.

Tez Ilyas

Tez Ilyas is one of the most celebrated rising 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.


 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
