Omid Djalili's No Agenda show broadcast on Friday night on Channel 4, gives an interesting demonstration in the art of standup comedy.

Djalili's material sits in the realm of ethnic-observational-social comedy - an under-subscribed niche if ever there was one. All in all it's an amusing show that, while not hilarious all the way through, certainly paints a picture of what a real Iranian and his family are like. And surprise, surprise - they're totally normal.

It all comes together nicely at the end too, as Djalili wraps it up, drawing the threads together with a suitable finale.
