About this show

2025 Leicester Comedy Festival Best Show Nominee. Edgy. Dark. Hilarious. In his trademark unfiltered and unapologetic style, Australian comedian, Michael Shafar, weighs into the topics that most comedians are smart enough to avoid. 'Shafar has a disarmingly relaxed approach... with a wildly inventive, darkly comic imagination.' * (TheEdinburghReporter.co.uk). 'He circumnavigates the line between edgy and offensive with beautiful finesse' ½ (Age). 'If you fear comedy has gotten too politically correct, Shafar will put those fears to rest' (Time Out). 'He drives across taboos... this is equal opportunity Sacred Cow slaughter' (Scotsman).
