About This Festival

After SOLD OUT shows across the country, one of Australia’s fastest rising comedians, Michael Shafar, returns to Melbourne Fringe!

As seen on SBS’s RAW Comedy and heard on ABC’s Comedy Bites and triple j’s Good Az Friday. Writer for Channel 10’s The Project.

Since leaving a career in law, Michael Shafar has made a name for himself as one of the fastest rising stars in Australian comedy, reaching the RAW Comedy National Final in 2016 and selling out shows across the country.

Building on from the success of his sold out shows Jewish-ish and Kosher Bacon, Michael is back with A Work In Progress show that is raw, deeply personal and hilarious. “This is the most transparent and honest I’ve ever been on stage, and it’s also the most I’ve had audiences laugh too."
