Jody is a Half Iranian, Bristolian actor and comedian. He has performed sell out shows at the Edinburgh Festival, London, Bristol and Cardiff.
He began his comedy career at the age of 20 with a stand up gig at ’Down
Stairs at the Kings Head’. From then on he began to work on various comedy
characters, in particular, Dominguez Popstar, the King of Latin Pop, which he took to the Edinburgh Festival in 2004. Jody, then embarked back to the Edinburgh Festival with the sketch show ’Sally Swallows’.
After taking six months out travelling to Latin America, Jody took his first one man character comedy show called ’backpacker’, to the Edinburgh Festival 2007. The sell out show was comic monologues based on his travelling experiences. The Stage described his performance as ’inspiring’. Jody Returned to the Edinburgh Festival in 2008 with a follow up, sell-out, show entitled ’Backpacker 2’, based on his travels to India. He is the co-founder of jamjuicers.com, featuring short sketchs, mocumentries, skits and spoofs.
Jody can also be seen as ’Terry the Oddjob man’ on the circuit and also on Youtube. www.youtube.com/terrytheoddjobman. ’One of the stars of the internet’ Evening Standard. He featured on the BBC show Upstaged earlier in the year.
Jody is currently performing his new solo show, based on his experiences of being half Iranian entitled ’Jody Kamali is Half Iranian’. Check listings for show dates.

Hey cutie... I hope the fringe was a huge success. I am still recuperating from the weeks of debautchery. Ill be back in the UK Sept 25-Oct7 so we will have to meet up. lots of love. Tlee
Hey Jody! It was wonderful seeing you and Andy in Edinburgh! I was unfortunately unable to see your show because of my schedule, but I do hope it went well - I heard an awful lot of good things!
i've finally got jobs. I'm a waitress and a cleaner (oh, the GLAMOUR!) &I got a kitten (his name's John McClane - from Die Hard!) &I'm getting headshots (FINALLY) on saturday.
Had auditions tonight -- went really well, except that I invoked Hugh Grant during my introduction and was totally spastic in an attempt to say my name and my pieces.
Came home, went to bed. Woke up at three a.m. and washed the dishes in the nude. (Like ya do.)
BRIAN: Will finally go to school, it will be a bit like in that Adam Sandler film.
CAROLE: Will achieve a world record for writing the longest ever shopping list.
JONTY: Will not get any action once B.B is over and will finally snap just before the start of the next series. He’ll be arrested after being caught in Hyde Park making love to a dog’s anus.
