Omar talks about encounters with strange school friends, football fans and EDL-badge-wearing bouncers, providing unique insight from a childhood moving from Egypt to Wales to Cambridge.

“Omar Badawy is a veritable gag-machine, with tightly-packed zingers” Chortle

“Call it charisma, star power, whatever, he just seemed like a full-formed comedian, but not in a cliched way.” Beyond The Joke
