Hani is a Melbourne-based comedy performer and sketch writer whose life transformed after discovering his passion for various comedic pursuits, from clowning and stand-up to sketch writing and acting.


In 2021, Hani joined the TIC community and has since performed in sketch shows, as well as co-creating and starring in "The Great Resignation" at the 2022 Melbourne Fringe. He has also trained with clown teacher Giovanni Fusetti.
