Shahak Shapira - Selective Identity - Athens

Friday 17. April at 20:30 - 21:45

Doors open 19:30

Θέατρο Ελεύθερη Έκφραση, Athens

Shahak Shapira is an Israeli-German comedian with Arab roots performing stand-up in English. It’s a mess. Being a walking container for some of the world’s most problematic identities hasn’t stopped him from traveling the world and performing for audiences who are nothing like him - just to find out whether they might be anything like him after all. It did, however, land him in a mental hospital. Not a pleasant experience - but even life’s most depressing stories can make for great comedy if you end them with a punchline. In „Selective Identity“, Shahak tries  to find those punchlines while talking about roots, never fitting in, depression, the search for a home, heartbreak, war, racism, and many other light-hearted topics - succeeding about 80% of the time. 


CAN'T AFFORD A TICKET?
E-Mail me at [email protected] and we'll figure it out. I know what it's like to be broke and want my shows to be accessible to anyone.


🎤 WHO AM I?
Hey, I'm Shahak Shapira, an Israeli comedian in Germany, which is, already, just wrong on so many levels. My comedy show on German TV got canceled so fast, most people didn’t even know I had one. I recorded a stand up special for Comedy Central, which would have been awesome, but it was Comedy Central Germany, so yeah, not great. My TED-Talk about how to go viral has about 30,000 views which is as sad as it is ironic. And as if all of that is not tragic enough - I'm also a DJ.


↩️ REFUND POLICY
Usually, tickets for shows and concerts are non-refundable, but I'm cool, so you can get a full refund up to 7 days before the show. Please understand that I can't offer any refund after that, it takes a bit of financial security to be able to do these shows.
