Shahak Shapira – CROWDSOURCED – 100% Improvised Comedy

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: LOVE & DATING 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.

🎤 WHO AM I? Hey, I’m Shahak Shapira, an Israeli-German comedian with Arab roots performing stand up in English – it’s a mess, I know. I travel the world doing comedy for people who are nothing like me to see if they might be anything like me after all. From an Indian restaurant in Tokyo to a South-African motorcycle gang in a garage outside of Cape Town – I’ll take a mic from anyone dumb enough to hand me one. My special „Baklavas from Gaza“ about the Israel/Palestine-Crisis was mentioned in the New York Times and seen by over 250k people on Youtube, my reels on Instagram and TikTok must have at least 12 billion views, if not 341! Also, I’m pretty good at comedy.
