Omid Djalili explores a world that's louder, angrier, and stranger than ever.Who gets to decide who we are before we've even opened our mouths?

Through stand-up, audience contributions and personal stories, he asks whether comedy can break through prejudice and remind us that people are always more complicated than the boxes we put them in.This is the first episode of the Stand-Up Specials series Omid Djalili: Namaste.
