The Iranian-British comedian has been using his social media platforms to shed light on the Israel-Gaza conflict in recent weeks.
Comedian Omid Djalili has cancelled a show on his tour, with the venue citing "personal threats due to the situation in Israel".
But just hours before he was expected on stage, the centre announced the cancellation referencing threats made against the star amid rising tensions around the Israel-Gaza conflict. The British-Iranian comedian has posted regularly on X, formerly Twitter, sharing pro-Palestine views, which have drawn equal amounts of backlash and support.After abandoning the show, Djalili shared an article reporting on the threats he had received. He joked on X that he will be "hiding out" in locations he's performing at during the Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland leg of his tour.
