Featuring Chris McCausland and Hal Cruttenden
After a year which took in 44 tour dates across the world, Omid Djalili will be ending the year in style at the iconic Cadogan Hall in London with a one off NYE Special on 31st December 2024.
Known for his legendary stand-up performances, Djalili is famed for his keenly acerbic wit, describing his approach towards his craft as ‘methodical’. Omid will take to the stage with his intelligent, provocative and energetic style, alongside fellow comedians Chris McCausland and Hal Cruttenden who also bring their memorable stand-up stylings to the mix in an unforgettable night, giving audiences a chance to see some of the UKs top comedy performers, all under one roof.
Omid Djalili’s stand-up awards include the Time Out Award for Best Stand Up. He’s also been both a Perrier Award nominee and a winner of the Edinburgh Award Panel Prize. Omid was also awarded a Best Actor award at the Turin Film Festival for his lead performance in The Infidel. His credits range from Hollywood to television and the West End Stage with critically acclaimed performances as Fagin in Oliver! and Reb Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof. Most recently, Omid starred in the award winning movie Journey To Bethlehem as one of the Wise Men and as Bridget Christie’s husband in the highly acclaimed series The Change on Channel 4. He also hosted two series of Winning Combination on ITV1.
Chris McCausland, currently on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ is also an established favourite on such flagship comedy shows as Have I Got News for You, Would I Lie to You?, QI, The last Leg, and 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. He has appeared on ‘Live at the Apollo’ three times, taking on the hosting duties in 2021, a year that also saw him make his highly acclaimed debut appearance on The Royal Variety Performance at The Royal Albert Hall. Chris has also appeared on entertainment favourites such as Blankety Blank and The Jonathan Ross Show, along with celebrity editions of The Chase, Pointless, and Mastermind – where he won with his chosen specialist subject of Pearl jam. In 2023 Chris had his own travel series on Channel 4, Wonders of the World I Can’t See, and was also part of Channel 4’s hit new entertainment series, Scared of the Dark.
