 Omid Djalili has spoken thoughtfully about how cancel culture is impacting comedy. The world-famous funnyman, 57, pointed out to Metro.co.uk that these days, people rock up to comedy shows with the sole purpose of being offended.

He was chatting to Metro.co.uk about his new partnership with EasyJet, Dad's Club.
