Omid Djalili The Good Times Tour to be streamed

Award-winning comedian Omid Djalili will be bringing his The Good Times Tour to screens with an exclusive global stream on the DRIIFT platform…

The streaming event coincides with Nowruz (Persian New Year) on 20th March. The special will then be available to watch on demand for a further four days.

The Good Times Tour saw Omid perform all over the world talking about his experiences during the pandemic, and was recorded in front of a sold-out live audience at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London.

After experimenting with a Zoom gig where he got muted by 639 people and a drive-in gig where he witnessed an audience member get out his car, attach a hose pipe to his exhaust and feed it through the window, multi award-winning comedian and actor Omid Djalili found himself back where he belongs, on a stage and bringing back the Good Times.

Well-loved for his legendary stand-up shows, Omid’s performances are famed for their piercing wit – with routines that range from the provocative to the silly. Omid’s stand-up is always highly energetic, incredibly passionate and above all supremely entertaining.
