Our TV headliner is the amazingly funny Tez Ilyas! You will recognise him from:
Mock the Week (BBC2)
Live at the BBC (BBC2)
Man Like Mobeen (BBC3)
Star of BBC Radio 4’s Tez Talks
Tez Ilyas hit the ground running in his first year as a stand-up comedian finding himself in no less than eight competition finals. Since then he has achieved phenomenal success with his debut stand up hour TEZ Talks, enjoyed a sell-out run at the Soho Theatre and had his own Radio 4 series.
Tez has had a few years storming Edinburgh with his solo shows, but in recent months you will have seen him on Live at The BBC, Chris Ramsay's Stand Up Central, Mock The Week and most recently Comedy Central's Roast Battles.
★★★★ ‘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
We can’t wait to bring Tez to the Lighthouse, Poole Centre for the Arts!
Opening the show is the hilarious comedy magician Wayne the Weird - master of stupidity and nonchalance and a massive hit with any audience.
Wayne's comedic skills have seen him perform on stage internationally as well as all throughout the UK from comedy clubs, castles and bowling alleys to golf clubs, churches, and even Zippos Circus!
"Outrageous comedian and magician." The Southern Daily Echo
"No one in the audience will ever look at rubber gloves and white rabbits in the same way again." Creative Cows Comedy

The Coastal Comedy Show with TV Headliner Stuart Goldsmith.
As seen on Russell Howard’s Stand Up Central and many more!
‘A charming, expert stand-up’ Sunday Times
Stuart Goldsmith is an internationally award-winning comedian, writer, podcaster and host.
With a reputation for smart, accessible stand-up, Stuart’s enthusiasm and natural charm conceal a quick wit as fearlessness honed by his early career as a street performer. Surprisingly candid about his exploits, sexploits and textploits, Stuart likes to get his teeth into love, romance and the downside of getting what you want.
Opening the show is the incredible Rick Kiesewetter. Rick’s ingenious observational material includes anything from adoption to being a Londoner.
“Kiesewetter has plenty of national stereotypes to play on, but he soon steers clear of nationality clichés to deliver punchy observational gags about the little things that annoy everyone.” Evening Standard
Also performing for your laughing pleasure is the very talented Johnny Wardlow who was part of the BBC New Comedy Awards 3 years running! Johnny’s based in Brighton and has played clubs all over the UK and has also just returned from New York, where he performed at Caroline’s on Broadway & Comic Strip Live.
