Omid Djalili brings his unique comedy style to Ireland

Omid Djalili’s stand-up show brings his particular brand of humour to current affairs. ‘Liberace presenting Question Time’, he tells Ellie O’Byrne

Omid Djalili is trying to remember Tilda Swinton’s name. But he’s just been kicked out of his hotel room on the Isle of Wight an hour early, disturbing a much-needed lie-in, on a gruelling run of tour dates. As a result he’s slightly distracted, and more than a little tired.
