World-famous comedian, Omid Djalili, will be performing at the Eden Cinemas on October 9 and 10.
British-born Iranian comic and actor Omid Djalili’s legendary performances on stage and screen have won him plaudits the world over.
Djalili is probably one of the most subversive, let alone funniest comedians around
Credits include ‘the slave trader’ in Gladiator, Warden Gad Hassan in The Mummy, Fagin in West-End smash-hit Oliver!, Mahmud Nasir in The Infidel, Mr Safir in Sex and the City 2, Askay/Pusasn in Pirates of the Carribean: At Worlds End and more.
Djalili’s stand-up awards include the Time Out Award for Best Stand Up, the Emma Award and a nomination for the South Bank Award and the Perrier Award. He has been described as “one of the most joyfully smart, stimulating and entertaining comedians this country has” (The Telegraph) and “probably one of the most subversive, let alone funniest, comedians around” (The Guardian). The comedian recently also released his autobiography, Hopeful, described as a joyously vivid journey through an unusually British life.
The book starts off with his unconventional childhood, spent at his family's London guesthouse for visiting Iranians and moves on to his love affair with football and, eventually, the start of his life as performer.
