Iranian Stand-up Comedian

I am in fact the only Iranian Comedian in the world, that's actually three more than Germany.
Omid Djalili



Recently, I watched some stand up comedies from Omid Djalili. Apparently I am little behind here because I didn't know him before. There are a couple of short clips in his website. You can also find many short ones in YouTube or Google Video. Here is the one that I liked a lot, although it is an old joke and I remember it since high school, but he tells it magnificently. In case you've watched "Over the Hedge", he is the voice of the Persian kitty.
By the way, I know there are other Iranian stand up comedians around such as Maz Jobrani, so don't blame me for the quote here.
