He is one of the only comedians I know who has brought Sean lock to tears. In Sean Locks - TV Heaven Telly Hell

[@Phillip_Brewin_Hutchins]

Not forgetting Joe Wilkinson on 8 out of ten cats reciting his “penises poem” 😂 Sean couldn’t breathe!

[@littleshrimp6048]

Omid is very popular in the uk. He's an actor too and was in 'The Mummy'.

[@keefsmiff]

Yes And as a result Annabell has given him 3 children

[@lassechristensen2573]

And Gladiator

[@samloveslfc]

@@keefsmiff Apparently he had a very good time 😉

[@RobertClaeson]

And in Borat.

[@SpudgunStreams]

And he's in The World is Not Enough. For about 6 seconds

[@CarolHenshaw]

I'm a big fan of Omid he was born in London to Iranian parents. Love his comedy and have several DVDS of his and his autobiography Hopeful please do more reactions to Omid

[@David-The-YorkshireMan]

he was born in London to Iranian parents who emigrated there

[@paltrax]

which technically makes him UKkranian we've all heard the joke-

[@bigal6789]

Omid is big here in the UK, very funny, even as his own game show here. There a lot more gigs out there he's done. You pronounced his name correctly.

[@PeleRana-pp6zc]

Omid Djalili is one of the funniest comedians in Uk. He is a natural!❤

[@ChaseOakley-rw2lx]

Let's not go nuts...

[@keefsmiff]

He does great piccalilli.

[@lindadejonge]

Omid is hilarious and a total nutcase... that's why he is so admired. No one cares about his background, nationality or whatever.... he's just sooooo funny!! Live the guy!!😊

[@cerbie70]

I didn't see 'Gladiator' in the cinema, so I only new Omid Djalili as a comedian/stand-up/panalist. He is funny, and then I was surprised to see him play such a good part in 'Gladiator'.

[@scottveatch1375]

I mainly know Omid from the Mummy with Brendan Fraser. Great movie, and he had a comedic role in it.

[@Coolvibes66]

The Mason-Dixon Line LMAO Havent heard that reference in a while 🙂

[@ndboulton]

Yes we've heard of him :'D he's pretty well known

[@clarkeysam]

I met Omid Djalili in the crowd watching Stewart Lee at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He was laughing so loud! He really enjoyed the show.

[@donepearce]

It is what is called performance laughter. It's an attempt to get noticed, to distance himself from the "normal" audience. It is really irritating to sit close to one of these in the audience.

[@clarkeysam]

@@donepearce I completely disagree. He was borderline in a disguise to hide who he was. When I was taking my seat, I did a double take to see if it was actually him.

[@turntheblueiris4626]

Did he do that yak-yak-yak thing with his jaw while he laughed?

[@clarkeysam]

@@turntheblueiris4626 quite possibly!

[@davidbourgoin523]

He had a whole TV series on the BBC. Was pretty funny from what I recall

[@CapraObscura]

He's also got a really English accent too in real life 😆

[@CapraObscura]

@@rolybling don't play stupid, he literally puts on an accent and who's going to know he's English when they've just discovered him

[@LorraineatNomadicRamblings]

I was fortunate to see Omid on the same bill as Al Murray at a free comedy club in West London, before either of them became famous. Have never laughed so much as I did that evening

[@Exoamylase]

He also plays a great character Yusef Amir in GTA 4.

[@ianstaines4395]

and in gta online right now

[@tonycasey3183]

How many Germans does it take to change a lightbulb? One, of course. Any more would be an inefficient use of resources. Why would you ask such a question? Now, let us all get back to work.

[@Joe_Sheffield]

I saw him at Rotherham civic centre back in 2018 and he was absolutely fucking hilarious!! 😂😂

[@spikeus3039]

He's a class act, Love the Iranians here in the UK . Such a cultured, polite, knowledgeable people...and now funny! :)

[@ChloeAndBetty]

Omid Djalili is a household name in the UK, has been for decades.

[@Arthur.in.the.Fridge]

Is he fk. He's a has-been.

[@ianstaines4395]

this guy is like matt berry, distinctive voice, found in a lot of voice overs everywhere!

[@CeltPatriot]

He is a legend in comedy always funny

[@chrisneal4257]

Used to see him on the TV quite a lot in the UK - always a top performer.

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

Told the Iranian business man joke "As If" and he died laughing!!!!😂😂😃😃😄😄😅😅

[@HoneyGirlAatNo9]

I saw him live a few years ago. I was crying with laughter the entire time!

[@jamesjimbob71]

considering you never seen his stand up you did very well with the name pronunciation

[@wizendrew6369]

Omid's story about meeting Gwyneth Paltrow is the funniest thing I have ever heard in my life.

[@yutehube4468]

6:08 for some reason this Godzilla bit had me in tears 😂😂

[@geebergoober929]

yes, absolute legend, he's got some brilliant stuff - you'll love it

[@stevenbrooks3573]

As you've guessed, he's British (of Iranian descent) - the Iranian accent is part of his act.

[@MarkmanOTW]

You mentioned Proximo, played by the late, great Oliver Reed. He was a well-known hellraiser and very talented actor that came to the fore in the 1960s. Known for his smouldering performances he could be menacing. On chat shows he could be unpredictable and outrageous. He sadly died during filming of 'Gladiator' so some of his scences needed to be completed using ready-shot footage + special effects.

[@True_Heretic]

One of my favourite British Iranians. love the guy.

[@MrLachlanmackenzie]

Seen him live, hilarious 😂

[@edix1673]

Omid is actualy English, born in London to Iranian Parents, he has a London accent but puts on his Iranian accent for comedy.

[@TheJulianFletcher]

I got to see one of his shows in London and he is hilarious!

[@clothilde1623]

I love Omid, he’s hilarious, he’s great in Gladiator, and his random Godzilla impressions always buckle me 😂

[@davel8927]

He’s brilliant, you need need to watch more of his stand up 👍

[@richardhargrave6082]

Omid, is brilliant, more please!

[@elizabethsellors9046]

You need to watch him live, brilliant.

[@dr.zacking2097]

He's quality 👏👍....and uppa towen 💙

[@BloomLavender-g5q]

He was Brilliant on Never Mind The Buzzcocks

[@wayne7521]

He starred in the 80s show ,The young ones,,, anything he has done ive psosiblly seen. He is fab .

[@zaftra]

His laugh is his signature thing.

[@Hulks92]

Is it?

[@zaftra]

@@Hulks92 yes, when he started.

[@keefsmiff]

Omid and "Achmed the dead terrorist" have never been seen in the same room at the same time

[@darrellpowell6042]

Omid Godzilla impressioms is in every routine he does.. He is a funny man.

[@rjds1800]

Yeah I remember him, not seen much from him for years. Good to see.

[@zinnia2980]

Omid is hilarious.😅 He is British/Iranian and very popular. (We are trying to watch reactions in-between The Euros ⚽ 😍)

[@richardmaguire9536]

I did open mic nights with him many years ago. He was hilarious from the start and just got better. His opening line was: "When my father arrived in London he had just one pound in his pocket- just one pound... but it was good gear." (I'm still doing open mic nights, not being as good as Omid.)

[@helvete983]

Yes we know who Omid is. He's a British comedian of Iranian parentage. He's been doing stand up since the mid 90's and is also a very well respected actor. I personally love his wacky style, he reminds me a lot of Alexi Sayle an older school British comedian, with a very similar style and career path in TV and Movies.

[@vespien2056]

I'm Australian and i've watched Omid's comedy for probably the past 2 decades. He's hilarious. He's also one of the Royals fav comedians, and has performed for them at a number of Royal Variety gigs.

[@kevo6190]

I've seen him in the Mummy but not standup... That was friggin hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣👏

[@markthomas2577]

Omid is British of Iranian heritage. He's often on TV over here

[@fishtigua]

He's also in Indiana Jones with the classic Rolls Royce.

[@louquine]

No, that's Alexei Sayle.

[@zenadavis6069]

Had the the privilege of seeing Omid live in our little theatre in Swindon, Wiltshire (Uk) many years ago. Laughed to the point of snot coming out my nose and the very real prospect of wetting myself. Yes ok, TMI, but I loved your reaction King Boomer ❤️

[@catshez]

"Who's at the door, 44.?" 🤣🤣🤣

[@Lones555]

I heard he gave up acting because he was sick of always playing stereotypes and then 9/11 made him not want to do comedy anymore, glad he changed his mind he's a great guy!

[@ianjardine7324]

I kind of get where he was coming from he's incredibly clever and funny and did a lot to help Muslim integration in the UK but it was kind of hard to find anything about racial differences funny after so much death and destruction on both sides.

[@encartauk]

​@ianjardine7324 he's not a Muslim. I have Iranian neighbours, and they aren't either. You haven't actually claimed he is, but it seems implied.

[@ianjardine7324]

@@encartauk I apologise for the bad phrasing I meant to highlight his comedy bridging the cultural gap between middle eastern immigrants and natives I shouldn't have picked Muslims as an example without clarifying it was lazy of me.

[@nothinghaloart]

Yes mate, thanks for checking him out man. And Thanks for the reaction 🙏👌

[@brigidsingleton1596]

"chucking" him out? Did you mean 'checking him out' (or "disposing of" him?)

[@mikkifly]

Yeah he’s very famous in the UK

[@scouseofhorror104]

Loved this! Omid's a versatile legend 😅 Stand up, Gladiator, and a really good afternoon quiz show Winning Combination!

[@lukefisher2000]

He also hosts a British gameshow called The Winning Combination on the BBC King Boomer just so you know that too lol 😆 😂

[@seangriffin924]

Going to see him in October, can't wait!

[@garethbrown9191]

He's fantastic! Loved him in "The Mummy"

[@mikethedigitaldoctorjarvis]

He was also in that episode of black books,he was the guy taking all the photos of Manny !

[@roymillsjnr5172]

Originally from Iran very funny guy 🙌

[@junior602002]

Originally from London, born to Iranian parents though.

[@buckyohare9993]

Saw him live just after Covid as my boss who had the tickets couldn’t go. Pissed myself, so funny!

[@secretarchivesofthevatican]

Watch Omid in the film The Infidel. It is brilliant!

[@JayTee-bc4xm]

I second that, very funny

[@amberkelly3187]

I never realised how much of our UK comedy is quite random until watching Boomer react to it

[@PedroConejo1939]

To balance the books, maybe give Henning Wehn a try (I can't remember seeing you react to him). He's one of the minus two German comedians. Also greatly loved in Britain.

[@carolfranklin]

OMG absolutely adore Omid wish he did much more stand up but he’s such a good actor he doesn’t have the time!

[@hopsail]

He is a cultured Englishman, and multi-talented. You said his name correctly.

[@joepiekl]

He does a longer version of this set on Live at the Apollo. It's amazing.

[@anthoantho1989]

He's also does the voice of Yusuf Amir in GTA IV The Ballad of Gay Tony.

[@kengregory6026]

Omid is a great stand up...also hosts a game show over here

[@alistairmcdougall9625]

Omid is hilarious,there's loads of his stand up out there,please react to some more,you'll love it 😂

[@Halfdanr_H]

I’ve been to see him a couple of times in London. He cracked me up

[@muninraven3327]

I love Omid. Don't watch the "Live at The Apollo" clip, because it's the same exact set. Edit: I just remembered Omid chatting to Sean Lock on a show... TV Heaven & Hell, or something close. I think our resident Boomer Muppet would like that one. :)

[@kylegacy]

Yeah, it's a shame really because his story about Ridley Scott getting angry at him is so good.

[@muninraven3327]

@@kylegacy Ah, I forgot about that. So true.

[@commonsense9176]

He played a gig in my part of Wales and had a speeding ticket. 😅

[@Levenstone132]

He's great😂

[@wardjunior1450]

I saw al Murray last night in Lincoln. It’s was great.

[@rightlefter1285]

He’s a British comedian, really funny, been in many big films and has a clean British accent, no Iranian accent at all, he puts it on. 😂

[@guyblack]

He's great in Dickensian. I have got tickets to see him November in Newcastle.

[@aTiminCambodia]

Hes brilliant, hes been at the apollo a few times. German comedian - Henning Wehn. So funny. But that is the only comedian from germany haha 😄 😆 🤣 Tom stade! Check him our KB!!! Amwrican who lives in the UK. Hes brilliantly funny

[@waltdistel716]

Don't forget Flula Borg!

[@Whippy99]

Omid is my favourite stand up comedian, ever. I’ve seen him several times and he never disappoints. 😁

[@RobertClaeson]

Here's a newer performance by Omid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmaVoX1-YruSo5Ysi=2npMKBjPjAf20eo6

[@nickwilliams911]

He was in Mamma Mia 2 especially in the credits

[@Arksimon2k]

Yeah we love him. He's done a few great gigs.

[@screamingunderbelly]

Why hasn't King Boomer ever seen 'Mean Machine' it's basically our version of the American movie 'The Longest Yard' and it was made by Guy Richie's production company & has nearly all the stars of Snatch & Lock Stock in it, even this guy Omid is in it, it's perfect for this show to react too 🤟

[@michaelcaballero6538]

the guy was in my primary school! St Mary Abotts in kensington which is where his posh accent comes from. i hate to say that i have the same accent!

[@JackieSimpkins]

Omid was born in the UK and is one of our most popular comedians.

[@JacknVictor]

He's in the TV spinoff of Snatch. Also was in Lenny Henry's last comedy sketch show. Hes in the movie "The Infidel" aswell that was very good. Hes been in a lot of stuff, and his stand up is very good. Another person i recommend checking out is Kayvan Novak. Phone jacker and face jacker woukd be a good place to start.

[@James-wp3jq]

He speaks with a British accent really .

[@Christianlee14]

Did u not watch the video 😮?

[@James-wp3jq]

@@Christianlee14 I did but I made the comment before he dropped the Iranian accent !!

[@pennyboulton9676]

He’s a brilliant Tv presenter too. He presents a Tv game show called Winning Combination.

[@rufus1346]

He went to the same school as me, in the year below. Wish I could say I remember him but he was born in London and is as British as anyone else who can call themselves British. Very funny man.

[@PetroniloPocaspulgas]

YES, IS SO GOOD I SEEN THE A LOT OF TIMES

[@ansugib]

We went to see him years ago and we were crying laughing. He is also in the film 'The Mummy'. Check out his live at the Apollo clips. He is brilliant 😂

[@OriginsReborn]

Did you know two Englishmen drew up the Mason Dixon line? Check out two of my fellow 'Geordies' talking and singing about it here: 'Mark Knopfler plays Sailing to Philadelphia for Brian Johnson'

[@NOKK72]

Omid presented an afternoon gameshow called "Winning Combination" on ITV or Channel4 in the last 2 years and he rips the contestants to bits. He should be on TV more.

[@Polli-uw2mm]

this guy is funny lol I remember you laughing at his chin stutter on black books xD and please do more JAM reactions for the love of god. Its so funny! theres an american guy that reacts to the whole thing on youtube i dont know why you dont do it and upload it. You'd be the 2nd American ever to attempt it

[@kimarnill7648]

He did such a great interview on the graham Norton show.

[@bill-wd7zs]

Not seen him before doing stand ups, that was great.
