A firm favourite at the Edinburgh Festival with his legendary performances, Omid's stand-up awards include; Time Out Award - for Best Stand Up, the EMMA Award and was South Bank Award nominee as well as being a Perrier Award nominee.
Omid was the winner of the Best Actor Award for his lead performance in The Infidel at the Turin Film Festival (won the previous year by Bill Murray). The Infidel also picked up a Loaded LAFTA award for Funniest film and Omid was short listed for Peter Sellers Award at the London Evening Standard British Film Awards.
'Right now, the Iranian Djalili is probably one of the most subversive, let alone funniest, comedians around.'
The 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
