KUALA LUMPUR: Omid Djalili, Hollywood's favourite "anti-hero comedian" is set to tickle Malaysian fans this Sept 20.
The award-winning British-Iranian actor-comedian who will also perform in Singapore the following day is best known for his sitcom Small Potatoes on the United Kingdom's Channel 4.

Some of the Hollywood movies he's appeared in include The Mummy, Gladiator, Spy Game, Notting Hill, Pirates Of The Caribbean 3 and Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow.
The multiple-award-winning comedian is touring Malaysia and Singapore with LOL Asia and his tour, titled Namaste, will see him masterfully combine humour with poignant observations from his life experiences as an Asian in Europe.
In a recent statement, Omid said: "I'm thrilled to bring Namaste to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, cities rich with culture and diversity.
"I can't wait to share my stories and laughs with their vibrant, multi-cultural audiences."
Omid also said that comedy was a powerful tool for expressing serious issues and bridged divides around the world.
