Yes, it’s the Omid Djalili Show on BBC TV

Omid performing

BBC One TV will be airing the first of six episodes of The Omid Djalili Show tomorrow (Saturday) night at 9:30 p.m.

Most stand-up comedians who are commissioned to write and perform first-time TV shows are given a try-out out on BBC Three TV before moving to the mass audience BBC One. Omid has gone straight to the mass audience channel.

He’s interviewed on the back page of Radio Times (the edition for the week beginning tomorrow).

I guess this is a first for a UK Baha’i. One in the eye for the Iranian government, too, given that no Baha’i artists, musicians, etc, are allowed to perform in Iran (see my previous post about the Iranian music student).

There’s a typo in your first link. Sorry to be so nit-picky. Loved your post about the Upside of Down, by the way.

Thanks for the heads up, Rory. I’ll correct it.
