I love this guy and saw him in the kings head crouch end many many years ago at the start. It was so unheard of but he had 3 on cores and was the best ever. I've followed him on stage and TV since but he is naturally amazing
The impressionist is Jon Culshaw and he mostly does voices on a radio show called Dead Ringers - many voices and he does them all excellently. He's not really a visual/TV impressionist but he did a decent George Dubya.
Like many stand up comedians, Omid Djalili is also an actor. He's appeared in the likes of Gladiator, The Mummy and The World Is Not Enough, a Bond movie I watched just the other day.

I was on a work trip years ago and on the way home I spotted Omid at Ben Gurion Airport. Genuinely. I thought “Christ, an Iranian at Tel Aviv airport. Mossad are really slipping”.
@@Arthur.in.the.Fridge Ooh burn. It's a shame someone opens your door from the outside and there is no light in there until someone does. That figures!
See omid live, he’s very funny and his stand up can be very intellectual at times its different but great. The Middle East voice he does at a lot of his shows too
FUN FACT ...Omid Djalili was born on 30 September 1965 in Chelsea, London, to Iranian Baháʼí parents. He attended Holland Park School where he failed A-level exams a record six times and faked his results to gain entry to Ulster University in Coleraine, Northern Ireland, studying English and theatre studies having been turned down by 16 drama schools.
I recommend checking out John Culshaw interviewing people as themselves. His one with legendary astronomer Sir Patrick Moore is particularly fun, with Culshaw under a ton of latex to look like Sir Patrick and Sir Patrick giving as good as he gets. Sir Patrick presented The Sky At Night, which was first broadcast in 1957 and is still going today. He and Culshaw became friends and when it came to the 50th anniversary edition Culshaw played the young Sir Patrick about to go on air for the first episode talking to his future self, the real Sir Patrick.
The difference between the US and UK is, if a person comes to the UK and pays taxes etc, they are origin country & British, in the US when someone does that, the US citizens who aren't paying taxes, want them to go home, as they are showing them up. The Omid Djalili sketch about recycling is funny.
Jon Culshaw is the impressionist. I agree those impressions weren't great, but he does a lot of really good ones. You should hear his Professor Brian Cox, it's uncanny!
Many US companies provide software with American Spanish and European Spanish, American Portuguese and European Portuguese and American English but not UK English. Why this discrimination? Why this cultural deletion?
I've never really rated John Culshaw as an impressionist. He does a great Frank Bruno and Chris Eubank, and his Tony Blair and George Bush impressions are decent, all the rest sound nothing like
Wow, I wasn't expecting this! Did you record this months ago or have you been trawling back over old recommendations? 😂 And believe it or not, my username is a literal translation of my real name!
This fabulous man was in a film as a adopted child to adult as raised as a muslim but then he found out he was a Jewish baby adopted by muslim parents he had to find out his heritage honestly what a laugh can't remember title of film ❤
Before Obama had become President and before we were familiar with his accent in Britain. I'm sure John's impression got much better over the next eight years.
Fun Fact: Jon Culshaw (the impressionist) is my brothers godfather. He was an impressionist on local radio (doing prank calls as Shaggy, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ozzy Osbourne) before he got into TV (Dead Ringers, 2DTV, The Impressionable Jon Culshaw, etc., etc.) Have a look through some of his other shows.
In my opinion, Jon Culshaw, who is the impressionist here, is adequate but some of his impressions just don't work, as you observed with his attempt at Barack Obama. I think that Rory Bremner is a much better impressionist.
John Culshaw (the guy who did the Bush impersonation) is like a modern-day Mike Yarwood, ie he's an impressionist who is absolutely terrible at impressions and always sounds like himself rather than the person he's impersonating.
When John Culshaw used to do impressions on the Steve Penk show I thought he had a pretty good range. Not every hit the mark but his William Hague once fooled the Downing street switchboard who put him through to Tony Blair.
@@vaudevillian7 I'm not sure I've ever heard his Tom Baker since I don't watch much Culshaw stuff, but I'll see if I can find a clip and give it a watch. TBH my initial comment was probably a bit harsh since he does do some good impressions, but when he does bad ones they're really bad.
Since you have Boomer as yoyr description, have you reacted to Lulu (Scottish singer) singing in the Eurovision Song Contest, singing: "Boom-Bang-a-Bang"?! (I _think_ she was voted as part of _four_ _winners_ tie, one year!!)

Only funny if you remember Mick Jagger and the sixties
@@MillerWright-mb1ob 😂😂😂😂
I reckon he really did mess up near the end. He just owns up, plays it off well and carries on.
Omid Djalili actually had his own BBC sketch show for two seasons.
king charles LOVES him
BEST INTRO YET!!!!!!! absolutely love it mate keep up the good work.....ps best wishes from Dundee, Bonnie Scotland
Like many stand up comedians, Omid Djalili is also an actor. He's appeared in the likes of Gladiator, The Mummy and The World Is Not Enough, a Bond movie I watched just the other day.
Of course he’s British he was born in Britain
omid is one of my fave comedians,hes always funny,
The Jon Culshaw clip with him off Radio 5 live with Ricky Gervais doing an impression of the physicist Brian Cox is absolute gold....
Your intros are the best mate especially the stomping farting t Rex 😂😂😂
Omid Djalili is British he was born in Chelsea, London, England
OMID IS IN HILARIOUS MOVIE "INFIDEL" 😂😂😂😂
he was also in Four Lions - my favourite terrorism comedy movie of all time
He has had a stellar movie career as a supporting actor in a whole host of movies
Jon Culshaw is an amazing talent. Look at more of his stuff.
You need to find if you haven’t seen it already, Joe Lycette getting out of his parking ticket - v funny
I mean Omid was born here so he’s definitely British

Omid Djalili is the best stand up comedian EVER! I’m seeing him for the fifth time next year. 😊
Are you hallucinating?
@@Arthur.in.the.Fridge Nope.
Thats the guy who was in the mummy with brendon frazer
Omid Djalili was born in Chelsea, London... Just like I was.
He's English-Iranian and proudly so.
lmao that intro was a good one
My son and I saw "A Night With John Cleese" HILARIOUS😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Yes, we claim him, we love him.

Bush like blaire was hated
Maybe too close to home for you but the Bush imlression was spot on

It was John Culshaw
"AXIS OF EVIL COMEDY TOUR" IS REALLY GOOD. VERY, VERY FUNNY!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😎
Hello king boomer love your new intro , I almost pissed myself
I think the Obama impression was George W doing the impression.
This gala concert 'We Are Most Amused' was for Prince Charles' birthday, raising money for the Princes' Trust charity..
The Barack Obama was bad, because he was doing Bush doing an impression of Barack Obama!
Love the Nigerian accent!!
Approve of the intro....
You should watch the episode of TV Heaven Telly Hell with Omid in it. It's presented by Sean Lock so you get a 2 for 1 and it's great.
he is british and so funny
Proud to be a merkin
You should react to his live at the apollo
excellent joker, good stuhf good reaction
Fire 🔥🔥🔥
Surely Trump was worse than Bush? Have you seen the movie “The Infidel”? I recommend it.
Just seeing Hope Less makes me smile

It has a ring to it. 🍑🌟
Keep in mind that he wasn't impersonating Barack Obama, he was impersonating George W Bush impersonating Barack Obama
haha, cope. He sucked, admit it.
This fabulous man was in a film as a adopted child to adult as raised as a muslim but then he found out he was a Jewish baby adopted by muslim parents he had to find out his heritage honestly what a laugh can't remember title of film ❤
The Infidel
Omid was great in the Mummy. Culshaw can do a better Obama but its often hard to switch your pallette.
🐻 you look like you enjoy a good bush 🤠 bed teddy 😂 🙌
Can you do a ‘Canadian fruit bowl’ for the next intro.
Barrack Obama should have a lisp..
Can you react to Bad robots funny British comedy sketch and Fonejacker
The key and peele Obama and his anger translator is the funniest Obama impression I've seen
Before Obama had become President and before we were familiar with his accent in Britain. I'm sure John's impression got much better over the next eight years.

Have a look through some of his other shows.
Haha, yeah, we don't really 'claim' Omid. He's just British, as he was born in Britain 😂 5:53 .
If a dog is born in a stable it doesn't make it a horse.
@@Arthur.in.the.Fridge Would it make the dog 'of the stable'?
I used to think Reagan was a crap president until George Bush Jnr came along. But he’s a freaking star compared to old Bone Spurs the Orange.
OMID WAS IN BLACK BOOKS AS "PHOTOGRAPHER" WITH MANNY!!!!
I think Culshaw is over-rated
In my opinion, Jon Culshaw, who is the impressionist here, is adequate but some of his impressions just don't work, as you observed with his attempt at Barack Obama. I think that Rory Bremner is a much better impressionist.
omid was born in london so of course he is british
Is he fk.
Is he fk.
and Iranian
Jon culshaw is a great impressionist and does not sound like himself all the time, that shite...
Jon Culshaw is capable of some cracking work .. sadly I agree with you KB this was NOT his best work 🤦♂️
👍🏴
He’s actually Persian
There hasn't been a Persia since 1935.
@@martinogold It was based on a routine he does on how people react differently when he says he’s from Persia instead of Iran
Where is Persia? I can't find it on my map.
@@garethfarman9540 It’s modern day Iran thicko 😊
@davidjb-750 I know that, my question to you was where is Persia on a call 2024 map. Obtuse eedjit.
Omid only has about 40 mins of material. He just repeats everything over and over, has done for 20 years
Rubbish. I’m seeing him for the fifth time next year. His shows are different every time.
Your south carolina cop impression sounded like Old Greg from The Mighty Boosh 😂
Boomer, I think I'm becoming American, I was thinking about conceptual wealth and used the word dollars in my head. I blame watching you too much.
You don’t have to worry until you start eating hot dogs and buy a giant pick up truck.
Omid is one of my top ones , he's Iranian ,run 🏃🏃🏃🏃 away from the satchel 👜😂🙌
That's an impression of George Bush doing an impression of Barack Obama :)
He said "mr huge spliff" and "mr i fancy a mars bar"...because the other name was "wacky backy" obviously meaning tobacco with something else in.
Dude I like you and your reactions. Recent sub.
Omid is one of my favourite comedians. Always a great laugh.
Omid’s a Chelsea boy born in the smoke dontcha know.
People from Nigeria, Uganda, Rwanda have beautiful accents!!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤
John Culshaw (the guy who did the Bush impersonation) is like a modern-day Mike Yarwood, ie he's an impressionist who is absolutely terrible at impressions and always sounds like himself rather than the person he's impersonating.
Not as bad as Mike yarwood
@@paulashe61 TBH you're right. Maybe I was too harsh on John by comparing him to Yarwood.
His Tom Baker is good
When John Culshaw used to do impressions on the Steve Penk show I thought he had a pretty good range. Not every hit the mark but his William Hague once fooled the Downing street switchboard who put him through to Tony Blair.
