Omid Djalili is an award‑winning stand‑up comedian, renowned for his energetic, character‑driven performances and sharp, cultural observation. Drawing on his British-Iranian background and lived experience growing up in London, his high‑energy physical comedy blends cultural satire, self‑deprecation and storytelling to explore identity and modern life, often challenging stereotypes along the way.

A two‑time winner of the Edinburgh Spirit of the Fringe, Omid has been described by The Telegraph as one of Britain’s most likeable comedians. He has toured extensively, performing to audiences across Europe, North America, Australia and the Middle East.

Alongside his stand‑up career, Omid has appeared widely on television, including Live at the Apollo, Question Time and his own BBC series, and was only the second British comedian to receive an HBO stand‑up special. He has also acted in a wide range of films including The Mummy, Gladiator, Notting Hill, Pirates of the Caribbean and The World Is Not Enough.
