Omid Djalili @ Vicar St

GreeBo · 2008-03-10 17:22:50

Saw him in Vicar Street and had to say he was terrible. Ive seen him on TV a few times and thought he was ok but his entire show was aimed at an UK audience. e.g He made jokes about several UK cabinet members...wtf? He openly admitted "uh oh, I think Ive lost the audience" and then decided that "In the west..." was better…

he even used the phrase "On the mainland"...

I'd avoid him at all costs again.

Boothby Graffoe his warmup was much better and apparently writes much of Omids material. I guess it is the way you tell 'em.

wow, glad I didn't go to this!!

Loved his support to Jack Dee at the Apollo, but thought he might be a bit one-dimensional and just lacking any depth.
