The Comedy Tour will be taking place in additional cities this year, bringing festive cheer to more regions of the UK, including Birmingham.

Among this year’s star-studded line-up are Aatif Nawaz, writer and star of BBC 3 comedy Muzlamic, who joins the Comedy Tour for his eighth consecutive year; Ali Official, writer and comic best known for Muzlamic and for presenting the BBC 3 film Being British Bangladeshi; American comedian Omar Regan, considered one of the five Muslim comedians in the world; Riad Moosa, whose string of sold-out one-man shows brought him international fame as an actor and comic; and Tez Ilyas, star of the BBC 3 comedy Man Like Mobeen.

This year, the Comedy Tour will end with a black-tie gala on New Year’s Eve.

Zaheer Khan, Director of Fundraising at Human Appeal, comments: "This year marks the tenth anniversary of our annual Comedy Tour, celebrating some of the biggest Muslim comedy stars in the world. We’re incredibly proud to bring festive cheer to families for 10 years running, and to support communities in dire need across the world. In light of the ongoing crisis in Gaza, proceeds from our tenth anniversary of the Comedy Tour will go directly to those directly affected by the conflict. We thank all who have supported the Comedy Tour over the years, and look forward to commemorating these 10 years in support of the Palestinian people."

The 2024 Comedy Tour will be at Birmingham on 21 December, 7pm, at Quaid-E-Azam Grand Ballroom, Montague Street, B4 7XH. 

Early bird tickets are available at just £10 for a limited time only. Tickets are now available on the Human Appeal website.
