Omid
Djalili
Barnard Castle Witham Arts Centre
Tuesday 1st March
2016
Comedian
and actor Omid Djalili is to visit Teesdale as part of his new tour.
Djalili, whose career has seen
him become a fixture on both the comedy circuit and the silver screen, will
visit The Witham arts centre in Barnard Castle on Tuesday 1st March 2016 as part
of his worldwide tour.
Following a sold-out four week West
End residency and a sold-out season at the Edinburgh
Festival, Djalili is now taking his new show
Iranalamadingdong to venues across Australia, North
America and the Middle
East before returning to the UK.
With over twenty years under his
belt as a stand-up comedian, Djalili is one of the most recognisable comics in
the country, notching up countless television appearances including Live at the
Apollo, Have I Got News For You, and The Royal Variety Performance.
Armed with cheery observations,
uncanny mimicry and old-school showmanship, the award-winning comic has been
delighting audiences and critics with his energetic shtick since 1995.
As prominent on screen as he is
on stage, Djalili has racked up an acting career as impressive as his comedy
CV, with roles in Hollywood
blockbusters such as Gladiator, The Mummy, Pirates of the Caribbean and The
Infidel.
He has also enjoyed success as a
writer, having penned two series of sketch programme The Omid Djalili Show for
the BBC, an
episode of popular Sky anthology series Little Crackers, and his autobiography
Hopeful, which was released last year.
Peter Dixon,
of promoters Funny Way To Be, said: "Omid has a huge array of film, West
End theatre and TV credits to his name, as well as a
cabinets full of awards. "It is as
stand-up though where he truly comes into his own. Anyone who saw his last tour
of major theatres will tell you of his razor sharp wit, boundless energy and
expertly crafted cultural observations. We are elated that he has agreed to
perform at our relatively small venue in Barnard Castle as part
of his brand new tour."
