Omid Djalili (2014 event)

Acclaimed comedian and actor Omid Djalili has produced a joyously
funny memoir about growing up and finding fame as a young Iranian
in London. He beautifully captures his unique childhood in his
parents’ guesthouse, describing meetings with an array of
remarkable characters and his own desire to escape. His story
offers an intriguing perspective on British society today and in
this event, recorded live at the 2014 Edinburgh International
Book Festival, he talks to author and critic Peter Guttridge.
