Borat brings Kazakhstan to West End glory

BORAT brought the glory of Kazakhstan to the West End last night.

The comic creation of Sacha Baron Cohen attended the British premiere of his new film.

The spoof journalist and “Kazakhstan’s sixth most famous man” arrived on the red carpet in a wooden cart drawn by a mule.

He brought along 30 members of his peasant family and several barrels of fermented horse urine.

Borat said he was hoping to meet Madonna after reading about her adoption of 13-month-old Malawian boy David Banda.

“I have brought here with me my 11-year-old son, his wife and their new-born baby, who I am hoping to sell to singing transvestite Madonna,” he said.

He is also looking forward to meeting the Queen, “although not for sexy time”.

Borat attempted to lead the crowd lining Leicester Square in the “Kazakhstan national anthem”.

Afterwards he told them: “Good evening gentlemen and prostitutes.

“I stay in a hotel in Kings Cross, you must come and join me. We will all drink, wrestle with no clothes on and shoot dogs from the window.”

The film, Borat: Cultural Learning’s Of America Or Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan, opens on November 2.

The Government of Kazakhstan is dismayed by Borat’s claims that the country’s national pastimes are “disco dancing, archery, rape and table tennis”.

Real-life Kazakh TV star Jantik Baimukhamedov said, people in Kazakhstan “understand this Cohen man is a good comic ... It’s very good for tourism, I think.”
