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

Was sceptical about a Zoom event for comedy. But actually blown away about how well the remote platform works. Everyone is in the front row so there is potential for banter with whole audience. The acts are not just limited to the audiences hair style and clothing for material - they have name and your room. Hilarious. Interaction doesn't required shouting over the heads of people in front.
