Israel-born and Berlin-based, Shahak had a TV show canceled so fast no one noticed, recorded a Comedy Central special (unfortunately in Germany), and wrote two bestsellers-great for poetry slams, absolutely irrelevant on a comedy stage. He’s tricked audiences worldwide into thinking he’s funny and even convinced top comedians like Jim Gaffigan, Iliza, Maz Jobrani, Ari Shaffir and Joe List to let him open for them. He’s performed on legendary stages like The Comedy Store, Gotham, and Laugh Factory with mediocre-at-best comedy.
