Omid Djalili’s “No Agenda” show was broadcast on Friday night on Channel 4, and gives an interesting demonstration in the art of standup comedy.
It topped off a reasonable evening of comedy, but while Enfield, Whitehouse and Murray have what can clearly be described as jokes, Djalili’s material sits in the realm of ethnic-observational-social comedy – an under-subscribed subscribed niche if ever there was one.
All in all it’s an amusing show that while not hilarious all the way through certainly paints a picture of what a real Iranian and his family are like.
And surprise, surprise – they’re totally normal.
It all comes together nicely at the end too, as Djalili wraps it up, drawing the threads together with a suitable finale.
