Usually, stand-up comedy is carefully crafted bits, tested and re-written to perfection over months, sometimes even years, but what if you just wing it? I’m Shahak Shapira, a stand-up comedian, and for a whole hour, I’ll stand on stage with no written material whatsoever and try to create comedy on the spot simply by interacting with my audience. What could go wrong? Literally everything.
HAT TOPIC: JOB & CAREER
During the show, I’ll pull questions you’ve written down before the show out of a hat and solve your problems because I’m really confident about giving advice about literally anything.
TICKETS
Unbelievable £20. I’d do it for 17, but the King of England wants me to pay 20% VAT. Might be time to storm Buckingham Palace.
WHO AM I?
Hey, I’m Shahak Shapira, an Israeli comedian in Germany, which is already just wrong on so many levels. My comedy show on German TV got canceled so fast, most people didn’t even know I had one. I recorded a stand up special for Comedy Central, which would have been awesome, but it was Comedy Central Germany, so yeah, not great. My TED Talk about how to go viral has about 30,000 views, which is as sad as it is ironic. And as if all of that is not tragic enough – I’m also a DJ.
