Michael Shafar

This Melbourne-born comedian doesn't just push boundaries—he bulldozes through them with a grin and a carefully crafted one-liner about his missing testicle. After ditching a law career to pursue stand-up, Michael Shafar has become one of London's most electrifying new acts, racking up over 100 million views online with his dark, unapologetic takes on everything from cancer survival to political correctness gone mad. A two-time testicular cancer survivor, he's turned personal trauma into comedy gold with his acclaimed specials (A)LIVE on Amazon Prime and Alright, Next Joke on YouTube. Since bursting onto the scene as a 2016 RAW Comedy National Finalist, he's represented Australia at the Laugh Factory's Funniest Person in the World Competition, earned 4.5-star reviews from The Age, and headlined clubs across the UK, Australia, Asia, and beyond. Now based in London where he's a favourite on the Comedy Boat since 2024, this Jewish schnitzel enthusiast brings over 150,000 followers along for the ride as he tours his brutally honest show Inappropriate across Europe. When he's not on stage, he's creating viral content that's amassed millions of views, proving that sometimes the most inappropriate things are exactly what we need to hear.
