Omid Djalili

In 2007 this hit show was released world wide on DVD. 2008 saw Omid return to the stage with his most successful show to date Omid Djalili Live 2008.

This saw Omid Djalili tour the UK with 53 dates including two sell-out performances at London’s Hammersmith Apollo. This then transferred to a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival. He is definitely one of the funniest, freshest and most original comedians in Britain today.
