Schmuck for a Night
In Surviving Madagascar, Ash Dykes recounts his latest adventure; how
he contracted the deadliest strain of malaria, was held up by the military,
dodged bandits, built a raft for a dangerous river crossing, was almost
washed away - at night - by another ferocious, crocodile-infested river and
had to hack his way through near-impenetrable jungle as he became the
first person ever to traverse the length of Madagascar’s interior.
Award winning comedian and actor, Omid Djalili, known for his legendary
stand-up performances, is back on tour! Intelligent, sometimes provocative
and always entertaining, his stand-up is a hugely energetic and captivating
comedy masterclass. His credits range from Hollywood to television to
the West End. Earning praise across the world for his performances, Omid
recently starred in Dickensian (BBC1) and Lucky Man (Sky1). Over 15s only.
