Djalili has been to Dubai several times before, so if you missed catching his antics on stage in the past, now’s your chance.

His highly praised new show, Namaste will see Djalili peacefully bowing to his inner anger, unleashing waves of comedic and bitter criticism on the current state of this (messed up) planet.
