Arab. Muslim. Brummy. “Deliciously funny” (Guardian) Hasan Al-Habib was born to Iraqis who left Baghdad for the land of opportunity (southern Birmingham).

“Death to the West (Midlands)” was borne of his noughties childhood, defined by a Gulf war 3000 miles away.

It’s the story of his teacher accusing my family of planning 9/11, his Dad claiming “Shakespeare was Arab” and why Saddam Hussein would have loved Drayton Manor theme park.

“Al-Habib will be famous.” Rolling Stone
