Hasan is a 2nd year oncology PhD student who is still no closer to a cure for cancer. Having shut down both last year’s BME smoker at Robinson (literally) AND London’s Wireless Festival (that might have been Skepta, actually), he turns his attention to the Wolfson Howler. He won the 2018 Pembroke Black Tie Smoker (and will never stop talking about it) and has performed at countless may balls as well as the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with FootDarks (a stand up trio with Danny Baalbaki and Patrick Sylla).
