Omid Djalili

The comedian, actor, star of The Mummy, and activist Omid Djalili talks to Gyles about his life and memories. From his childhood, growing up in an unconventional home in Kensington surrounded by the Iranian convalescents his parents took in as guests, to discovering his skill for comedy at secondary school, to his days at university in Northern Ireland and a scary experience being shot at on a beach, this is a rich and entertaining episode. Gyles and Omid explore faith, divine intervention, the Baha'i religion, how it's possible to have a fabulous second act... and much more. Omid is currently touring, tickets for his Namaste tour are on sale now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Hosted on Acast.
