After sold out seasons 2023-2024, Australian comedian and cancer survivor, Michael Shafar, is back at the Fringe with his critically acclaimed show to prove that he was well worth the chemo.

Since moving to London, Michael has quickly become one of the most exciting new acts on the UK comedy circuit with his dark, boundary-pushing and thoughtful takes on the culture wars.

Michael has amassed 120,000+ followers on social media and 100+ million views of his videos online. His debut special A(LIVE) is on Amazon Prime and his most recent special Alright, Next Joke is on YouTube.

"Shafar circumnavigates the line between edgy and offensive with beautiful finesse" ★★★★˝ 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

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