Google Chambers Touring LtdAbout the show
Hasan Al-Habib: Death to the West (Midlands) is a stand-up comedy show by Chambers Touring Ltd, directed by Jet Vevers. Hasan is Arab, Muslim and Brummy — his parents left Baghdad for the land of opportunity (Birmingham), but when Britain invaded Iraq, friends and teachers saw him as the enemy within. The show features Big Tescos, why Saddam Hussein would have loved Drayton Manor, and — amidst a search for those pesky weapons of mass destruction — finding self-acceptance. Hasan performs at Upstairs and was a winner of the Birmingham Comedy Festival Breaking Talent Award.
Why see this show?
Edgy, personal and genuinely funny, Hasan Al-Habib turns an Anglo-Iraqi upbringing into sharp political comedy. A debut show with real conviction and surprising warmth behind the dark material.
