   Who is Omid Djalili?

   • Omid Djalili’s latest tour, an ode to the end of Covid lockdowns, is an enjoyable if unoriginal affair.

   What makes Djalili unique?

   • Djalili has a talent for this – segueing seamlessly between discussing serious issues and making bawdy jokes or flippant asides.

    ‘I’ve been offending people around the country,’ is how Omid Djalili describes his tour. In some ways, that’s hard to believe. Djalili is the epitome of affable ‘Mr Saturday Night’ showbiz, with a cheeky smile, bags of energy and a generous dollop of charisma.
