Edinburgh Comedy Previews 2025: Catch two excellent stand-up comedians each night, presented by Chuckle Busters
6 weeks of fantastic comedy as stand-up stars premier their latest shows before they head to the largest arts festival in the world. Be the first to catch these shows before they go on to comedy glory! Each night will feature two full length performances from some of the best comedians in the country.
Hasan Al-Habib
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 does 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 goes to Medical Aid for Palestinians.
“Deliciously funny and challenging in the way he engages with race, class and privilege.”
