Edinburgh is coming to Greenfield!

Tez Ilyas

If you have ever fancied a trip to the Edinburgh Fringe but not the 500 mile round trip or the eye-watering hotel prices, then Greenfield's Off The Rails Comedy Club offers the perfect solution.

Every July, the Greenfield club hand picks the cream of the current comedy crop to put the final polish on their new shows, before heading up to Auld Reekie. 

The first offering on Friday, July 5, features Mancunian motormouth Justin Moorhouse and Radio 4's 'Fair Cop', Alfie Moore, but sold out a couple of weeks ago.

The good news is Sunday, July 30 has just gone on sale with two of comedy's hottest properties - Tez Ilyas and Dan Tiernan.    

Tez is best known for his appearances on a A Man Like Mobeen as well as hosting BBC's flagship comedy show Live At The Apollo.

'After Eight' covers the last two years of Tez's life, including his marriage, becoming a homeowner and dad to two rabbits.

Expect solid, slightly subversive stand up with a British Muslim twist.

Dan Tiernan (pictured above) was crowned BCC New Comedian Of The Year in 2022 then quickly scooped every other title worth having in a matter of months.   

This former dinner lady's high energy, anarchic performances draw heavily, but not exclusively, on his sexuality and dyspraxia. 

When not supporting Micky Flanagan on tour Dan is pursuing a burgeoning TV career with appearances on QI, 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown, Unforgivable and The Stand Up Sketch Show already in the bag.  

Tez and Dan share the bill and one ticket gains admission for both shows and you can book now by clicking the link here
