Edinburgh Festival Fringe's legendary comedian, Omid Djalili, is back with a splash, for 13 performances only. Time Out Award - Best Stand Up, EMMA Award - Best Stand Up, South Bank Award nominee and Perrier Award nominee. Book early. 'Right now, the Iranian Djalili is probably one of the most subversive, let alone funniest, comedians around.' (Guardian). 'To carve yourself out a career as the thinking person's Iranian comedian in this political climate takes a fine brain and a masterful way with the audience. There is no question that Omid Djalili possesses both.' (Sunday Times).

Fabulous night. Saw Omid in the Shawshank Redemption the same day and was amazed that he still had enough energy to do a hilarious, entertaining hour of comedy. Love you!!!!
