Comedians such as Omid Djalili and Rachel Parris are back after festival’s tough two years due to Covid
When Omid Djalili first performed at the Edinburgh festival fringe in 1993, it was to an audience of three, and they all requested refunds after it was misleadingly advertised as an hour-long show. “I thought the show was so funny that it would get big laughs. I’d calculated jokes plus laughs at 55 minutes – it was 33 minutes short.”
Thirty years later, Djalili is returning for what he said would be his final fringe, and to show his gratitude for the world’s largest cultural festival.
