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

OMG this event was amazing. From start to finish we sold out. Sion was so good as host and very organised bringing every one into event we felt we were there. Never laughed so much all comedians were brilliant they did they research and worked the crowd as a cancer charity it lifted our spirits definitely recommend and will do another one soon

What a fun night! All without leaving my sofa. An excellent line-up that had me engaged and laughing like a drain. The most fun I’ve had in my pyjamas in a long time. 5 stars. Would recommend.

I was surprised at how well the comedy worked online. Viewers who weren't shy were able to interact with comedians. All comedians were of good standard.
