4.5 Stars. Ever since Hasan Al-Habib’s 2025 Fringe show Death to the West (Midlands), I have been eagerly waiting for his next set.
Hasan Al-Habib is television-ready. A clever, talented comedian with a PhD in oncology, he combines great timing, strong material and excellent callbacks with a great gift for wordplay.
