Quotes:
a cheeky livewire of a performer who steamrollers into some potentially contentious areas with devil-may-care chutzpah if that Yiddish word isnt inappropriate for a lapsed Muslim who admits his former faith proving no match for the attractions of alcohol. Born in Somalia, Omar has a winningly irreverent attitude to sacred cows, with a fresh and feisty delivery that gives him a contemporary edge Chortle
