One of Australia's Fastest Rising Comedians, Michael Shafar, Returns to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival

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, selling out his debut season at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and touring internationally.

Building on from the success of his sold out Jewish-ish shows, Michael is back to serve up Kosher Bacon, which just SOLD OUT its season (and extra show) at Perth's Fringe World. "It's a show about things that make no sense, like how my local politician used to be the DJ at all of our friends' bar mitzvah parties. We thought that was normal."

Dates and Times: 29 March - April 22, 8:15pm (7:15pm Sundays, no Wednesdays)

Venue: Trades Hall, 54 Victoria Street, Carlton, 3053

Tickets: $20-25 at www.comedyfestival.com.au/2018/shows/kosher-bacon
