Baba and friends - a double WIP
TWO STRANGE PEOPLE PRESENT TWO LITTLE AMUSE-BOUCHES (IF YOU WILL) IN THE COMEDO-THEATRICAL GENRE
Halima Habil and H. Laszlo Cosmetatos are delighted to offer the most utterly moderate little taste of their hardest work to date in this high-effort, weirdly enticing and genuinely unusual split bill!
HALIMA HABIL: BABA
Did you know Baba means wise old woman in Romanian, father in Arabic and baba ghanoush wasn’t always made with mayo??Baba tells tales of love in the times of communism, trams and of roots. But where will she find home?...home...home...home
Halima is a trained clown and professional baba. You have seen her recently at Man Up, as quarter finalist at Sketch Off Museum of Comedy or in an open mic around you. Halima won the Laugh Bath duck award 3 times.
She graduated Ecole Philippe Gaulier, Embodied Poetics Lecoq school and Soho Theatre Drag Labs. She worked in Applied Theatre and collaborated as clown with ClownsWithoutBorders and social circuses in London, Bucharest and Casablanca.
Madcap darling of the alt comedy clown scene Halima Habil is taking her charismatic, enigmatic brainchild Baba all the way to Edinburgh Fringe this Summer!
Love, language, love-language, and…soul-destroying heartbreak are all on the table when Baba comes on scene.
HECTOR LASZLO COSMETATOS ESQ.: VAGINUS HEMMINGWAY PRESENTS A VINDICTIVE TAKEDOWN OF THE RECENT FUTURE
Hector Laszlo Cosmetatos loves long names. For example, his show ‘Quiz Night @ Vaginus Hemmingway’s Cabaret Rathole’, has a long name — and it has taken a long, long time to reach its final, fringe-ready form! As such, eponymous hero Vaginus Hemmingway has taken on a life of his own, and has availed himself of this time to present a vicious retrospective on the worst human decisionmaking of the last few years…in the form of a quiz!! So get ready for some really bitter reminiscing in the form of adorable throwback questions like ‘who started the influencer purges of 2026?’ and ‘how was Putin executed, and by how many individuals simultaneously?’ and
‘after a long and arduous bidding process, which Vape company eventually bought TfL?’ and much much more!
