Finally!!! Omid Djalili has released his comedy routine on a DVD!! This long-awaited release is a must have item for my collection! I simply LOVE this genius comedian who has found a unique way to bridge the Eastern and Western cultures through an eclectic blend of humour! He is also a brilliant but underappreciated actor! His portrayal of the young Pablo Picasso was extraordinary in “Modigliani”, one of my absolute favourite movie of all times!
