Omid Djalili has built a career on commanding audiences with comedy. Omid knows that captivating an audience can be done in a couple of easy steps. First, speak slowly and clearly to encourage the crowd to listen closely. Omid also suggests that you prepare two jokes in the first few minutes of your speech. The first is to engage the crowd and the second is to let them know that a joke could come at any time.
Whether on the stage or screen, Omid Djalili knows how to deliver a powerful performance packed full of punchlines. However, Omid knows that humour is just as valuable for his audiences as it is for his performance. From uniting people to helping them improve, Omid knows that laughter is the lubricant of learning and leadership.
“Humour is the one thing that knocks our divides away. Historically comedians have been attacked, put in prison, because they’re the ones who bring about the great agreement and the great unity amongst people.”
