Hasan Al-Habib: Death To The West Midlands (Work In Progress)

Arab. Muslim. Brummy. Hasan Al-Habib was born to Iraqis that moved to Birmingham after deciding Baghdad wasn’t dangerous enough.

The Birmingham Comedy Festival Breaking Talent Award Winner 2023 presents an hour of work-in-progress material about his love for both cities, despite their undeserved reputations (ok, maybe a little deserved).

50% of proceeds go to Medical Aid for Palestinians.
