29 Jan – 3 Feb @ Deluxe @ Yagan Square ·
Presented by Michael Shafar ·

As heard on ABC’s Comedy Bites & triple j’s Good Az Friday. Writer for Channel 10’s The Project.

After sold out seasons in 2017-2018, Michael Shafar returns to Perth with a brand new show that is his most personal, raw and hilarious one yet. In 2017 Michael was diagnosed with cancer and, fortunately, it has given him a lot of material. Don’t worry, this show is funny. It’s definitely not a Ted Talk.

“If you love to laugh, Shafar is the ‘go to’ guy” ★★★★★ Glam Adelaide
“Still laughing a day later” ★★★★½ The Plus Ones
“Jokes that set the room on fire with laughter” ★★★★½ The Australia Times
“Tasty, topical and with extra bite” ★★★★ The Age
“Clever, informed, witty and well-crafted” ★★★★ Beat Magazine
“He is really very good” ★★★★ Funny Tonne
“Mel Brooks would have been proud” Herald Sun
“The pace is tight… knocking the punchlines out at a prodigious rate” Chortle UK
