Hanna Shammas Takes It To Heart is a 60-minute stand-up and storytelling show from Palestine Comedy Club, playing at Buttercup at Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026. Comedian and writer Hanna Shammas draws on his experience as a Palestinian living in the 1948 territories in the city of Haifa. After discovering he has a hole in his heart during a hospital stay, he applies wry social commentary and self-reflection to examine what caused it — the women in his life, his family, his identity, or his unsupportive psychologist. Suitable for ages 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A sharp, personal hour that uses a literal hole in the heart as a launching pad for exploring identity and everyday absurdity. Hanna Shammas blends storytelling and stand-up with warmth and comic precision.
