Hasan Al-Habib : Stuck in the Middle (East) With You ( Preview / Work In Progress) 
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
