- Michael Shafar: Tour Show Preview
- Michael Shafar
Since moving to London from Australia, Michael Shafar has quickly become one of the most exciting new acts on the UK comedy circuit.

In this unfiltered and unapologetic hour, Michael will weigh into the topics that most comedians are smart enough to avoid.

"Shafar has a disarmingly relaxed approach and an intelligent sense of humour with a wildly inventive, darkly comic imagination." ★★★★★ The Edinburgh Reporter

"Shafar circumnavigates the line between edgy and offensive with beautiful finesse." ★★★★½ The Age

"He’s a brand of comedian that is getting rarer and rarer to come by these days, and if you’re among those who fear comedy has gotten too politically correct, this show will put those fears to rest." ★★★★ TimeOut

Work In Progress and Preview shows gives established acts a chance to test new material and develop their longer form solo shows for TV appearances, tours and festivals. As an audience member you'll be helping them shape their shows and find out what works and what doesn’t as they will be often be trying fresh new material and ideas alongside their best jokes!

Shows are normally free or low cost but you can make a voluntary donation at the end of show if you enjoyed it and wish to contribute to the comics and the venue to support us and live comedy.
