omid djalili tour 2024

The Persian Comedy Powerhouse performs his critically acclaimed new show NAMASTE where Omid peacefully bows to his inner anger and unleashes a torrent of comedic vitriol upon the current state of this dangerously messed up planet. No government gets a green card. No tyrant avoids a take down. No audience member leaves the theatre with an ounce of laughter left in them... You have been warned.

Omid writes article for the Telegraph. Puiblished 2nd July 2023 (click on image for link to story)

The Iranian State’s Burial of Bahá’í women must not be forgotten.

The struggle for women’s rights in iran is older than many may think. i am proud to stand with them..

IN THE 44 YEAR HISTORY of Iran’s “Islamic” Republic, one of the most heinous acts it has ever committed – from a preposterously large number to choose from – took place in the late hours of the 18th of June, 1983, when 10 Bahá’í women in Shiraz were hanged on the charge of refusing to renounce their religious beliefs. One after the other, the women were forced to watch each other hang, supposedly to give a final opportunity to recant their faith and save their own lives. Each of them refused. The oldest was Ezzat, 57, hanged with her daughter aged 23, her husband executed two days earlier. Nosrat was 46, her son executed two days before. Most of the rest were in their 20s.The youngest, Mona, whose father had been executed three months before, was 17. She asked to go last so the others would not see her hang. When I initially heard the news. living my normal London life in leafy Kensington, the impact was strangely minimal. I was also 17, born 20 days after Mona, but it was part of a stream of stories coming out of Iran of mass killings and executions. I was in a constant state of anxiety as a great many killed were friends and acquaintances of my parents. Notable amongst these were the killing of the Bahá’í administrative body of the National Assembly members in 1980 and the Tehran Assembly, unceremoniously shot in 1981, all of them known to us. By June 1983, without the internet being in existence then to give us any details to bring the story a little closer, the hanging of the 10 women of Shiraz seemed to get lost in the maelstrom. Iran was constantly on the TV news and my main concern was the social impact it had on me. My school friends were aware but didn’t fully grasp what I was going through due to my lack of confidence in being able to explain to them an important nuance: that I was part of a persecuted minority, that I was going through the double pain of association with a country full of violent fundamentalists that brought me deep social shame, but who were also murdering members of my own community. It was two years later when Mona’s story was captured in the pop song “Mona With The Children” that I began to connect. I attended a gathering at the Bahá’í centre in London with Jack Lenz & Doug Cameron, the song’s writer/producer and singer. We got to know Mona as an exceptional young girl, definitely not a religious zealot. She was just a young girl trying to build capacities within children. Her personality connected with me. We watched the video. The impact of the music with the images was overwhelming. And impressive to see Alex Rocco playing a Mullah. A far cry from playing casino owner Moe Greene in The Godfather, famously shot in the eye while on a massage table. What was important was that they had created art to keep their memory alive. Even more so now. Iranian women’s struggle for equality is older than many in the West may think. The 19th Century figure, Táhirih, a poet and scholar, exemplified the power of women to transform society. She was an early adherent to the Bábí movement, a precursor of the Bahá’í faith, and empowered by the teachings of her newly found Faith, she rose up to announce a break with the past. She notably caused profound shock when she removed her veil publicly at a conference attended only by men in 1848. In 1852 she was put to death by the Iranian authorities. These words have been attributed to her just before being executed: “You can kill me as soon as you like, but you cannot stop the emancipation of women”. Today, in the blood, tears, and wounds of thousands of young women in Iran seeking equality, we can see echoes of the injustice suffered by the 10 women of Shiraz 40 years ago. The same forces are still at work today deploying torture, mutilation and murder to deny Iranian women fundamental rights. Many died within days of the best known victim of the wave of femicides in Iran, Mahsa Amini, beaten by morality police for not wearing her hijab correctly, dying in hospital on September 16 last year. Then it was Nika Shahkarami 16, Sarina Esmailizadeh 16, killed during protests. So many of the dead are young girls. Hadis Najafi 22, Mahsa Mogoi, 18. The list goes on. The men of Iran also stand in solidarity with their mothers, sisters, wives and daughters and risk their lives. Many men have already been executed just for protesting. I am in awe of their courage. But we are all deeply connected. I am proud to participate in the # OurStoryIsOne project to keep the memory of the 10 Women of Shiraz alive and inspire real change not only in Iran, but for the whole world. Omid Djalili, 2 July 2023. Link to the article published in the Telegraph here.

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

Omid Djalili to tour new show Namaste

Monday 12th February 2024, 11:42am

• Omid Djalili: Namaste will tour between October 2024 and January 2025

Stand-up show Omid Djalili: Namaste will tour between October 2024 and January 2025 .

The comedian's promoters confirm: "The Persian Comedy Powerhouse, Omid Djalili , is set to take his brand-new show Namaste on the road this autumn.

"Namaste is typically a word associated with peace and tranquillity, but the word - which comes from Sanskrit - literally means 'bowing to you'. And as he watches a world on fire, as climate change, terrorism, financial instability, oceanic pollution, and depletion of natural resources tear ever more at the fabric of our lives, Omid has decided he'll eschew tranquillity, and bow instead to his inner anger.

" Namaste sees Omid peacefully and joyfully control that rage and unleash a torrent of comedic vitriol upon the current state of this dangerously messed up planet. No government gets a green card. No tyrant avoids a take down. If you want funny, this guy has funny."

Omid Djalili announces new tour, Namaste

...as Russell Kane expands his Hyperactive dates

Omid Djalili has announced a new tour – in which he vows to yield to his inner anger.

He has 38 dates scheduled for  the show, Namaste, starting in October and running to 2025.

Promoters explain that ‘namaste’ is typically a word associated with peace and tranquillity, but the word - which comes from Sanskrit - literally means ‘bowing to you’. 

‘As he watches a world on fire, as climate change, terrorism, financial instability, oceanic pollution, and depletion of natural resources tear ever more at the fabric of our lives, Omid has decided he'll eschew tranquillity, and bow instead to his inner anger,’ the description continues.

The tour promises to unleash ‘a torrent of comedic vitriol upon the current state of this dangerously messed up planet’.

Last year, Djalili starred in the n Christian musical film Journey To Bethlehem as one of the Wise Men and as Bridget Christie ’s husband in Channel 4’s The Change.

Meanwhile, Russell Kane has announced the second, more substantial, leg of his new stand-up show, Hyperactive. 

He is currently in the middle of a run of 26 relatively intimate venues, with more than 100 more UK gigs – plus one Dubai date – now being lined up from the autumn, 

The eighth series of Kane’s BBC Sounds podcast Evil Genius has just launched, following its recent transfer to TV on Sky History, while his  first children’s book, Pets Selector! , will be out later this year.

The first tickets will go on sale at 11am tomorrow, and on general release on Thursday.

Sketch duo Grubby Little Mitts and off-the-wall stand-up Paul F Taylor have also recently announced tours.
