Arab. Muslim. Brummy. 'Deliciously funny' (Guardian) Hasan Al-Habib's Edinburgh Fringe debut show Death to the West (Midlands), about growing up Iraqi in Birmingham during the second gulf war, sold out its entire run in Edinburgh and Soho Theatre in London.
He returns with a WIP of his new show: “Stuck in the Middle (East) with you”.
His agent told him it needs to be more relatable for White British people, so it’s all about growing up as a child of divorce and how love, loyalty and resentment coexist within family. 25% of artist’s proceeds will go to the charity Medical Aid for Palestinians. “Deliciously funny” - Guardian “Al-Habib will be famous” - Rolling Stone “Material for Live at the Apollo” - Scotsman “Al-Habib is an observant Muslim” - GB News

Reviews for previous Sion James events

Rachael O reviewed Happy Mondays Comedy Lockdown Online Zoom Special : Boothby Graffoe , Joey Page, Caroline Mabey, Şaban Kazim , Brabantia & MC Sion James which happened on 8:00pm on Mon 27th Apr 2020.

Loved the firstn3 acts. Didn’t find Branantia very funny - but that’s just me. Last guy went on a bit too long- wish we’d had longer with the first 3. Great comparing, well managed and thoroughly enjoyed all said. Definately will recommend to friends and will come back.

It's great that zoom allows you to interact, but... noise from the audience often drowned out the performance. Difficult balance I know, but on the whole really enjoyed the show.
