Tez Ilyas is one of the most celebrated stars in British comedy, an author and an activist.

The guy is also one of a new generation of British Muslims who are public and proud about their heritage. This is all explored in his new book 'The Secret Diary of a British Muslim Aged 13 3/4'.

You'll have seen Tez on Live at The Apollo (BBC Two), The Last Leg (C4), Mock the Week (BBC Two), Live From the BBC (BBC Two), The Chris Ramsey Show (Comedy Central), Man Like Mobeen (BBC Three), Roast Battle (Comedy Central) and The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice (C4). Tez’ Channel 4 comedy Blap Bounty is the most watched show in the strand’s 10 year history.

In this conversation we explore his life, have a laugh and all of that but the thrust of the conversation is to explore what Muslims get from going to mosque. What are the different practices? What does he get from them? How do they make him feel? In a country that is culturally Christian the ins and outs of Muslim life are relatively unknown.

This conversation is a companion to our interview with Liz Oldfield called 'What Do People Actually Get From Church'.

Liz Slade is the Chief Officer for one of the most fascinating of UK Unitarian Church - which is one of the most fascinating communities in the country.

Liz has a very interesting background into being a spiritual leader, which she joined after being a senior leader in the healthcare industry.

We're going to talk about the benefits that individuals can get from being part of these congregations, as well as the implications for healthcare, society and climate change.

Alongside this we'll explore her work using literature as sacred texts for modern day pilgrimage, and her work at Sunday Assembly - the worldwide movement of secular congregations. You've probably never heard of the Unitarians but they are a super important organisation with a fascinating history.

The movement has been at the forefront of social justice campaigns for the past 250 years, playing a foundational role in the start of feminism.
