Comedian Omid Djalili set to appear at the Apex later this month

After experimenting with a Zoom gig where he got muted by 639 people and a Drive-in gig where an audience member put down his window, shouted, “You’re rubbish” and drove off, Omid Djalili (pictured above) is delighted to be back on stage, entertaining real live people.

The football-loving comedian, who is a fan of Ipswich Town, recently left the bright lights of London to settle here in Suffolk and has a date at the Apex in Bury St Edmunds, later this month.

With a career in comedy spanning across three decades, Omid’s performances on stage and screen have won him fans and plaudits the world over.

Omid’s acting credits range from Hollywood films (including “The Mummy” and “Gladiator”) to television (“His Dark Materials”) and the West End stage (“Oliver” and “Fiddler on the Roof”).

Renowned for his razor-sharp wit, boundless energy and expertly crafted cultural observations, his original material continues to explore the diversity of modern Britain and he remains one of the most exciting entertainers on the circuit.

And Omid will be at the Apex on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 15 and 16, at 8pm, see www.theapex.co.uk or ring 01284 758000 for more information or to book tickets.
