Shapel Lacey grew from the Phoenix open mic circuit onto main stages where he regularly opened for comedians such as Bill Burr, Hannibal Buress, and Frank Caliendo. A diehard punk rocker and former award winning competitive cheerleader, Shapel found ways to express himself and own his individuality at an early age. His unique life experiences (such as being adopted by a Caucasian family at age 15), punk rock mentality, and stage presence combine to make for a truly original voice in comedy. Shapel is preparing for what looks like a very busy near future, opening for his idol Henry Rollins at the Sonic Temple Music Festival, performing at Comedy Central’s festival Clusterfest, and being named as a prestigious Just For Laughs Comedy Festival “New Face”. You can hear him regularly on podcasts The Fighter and The Kid and Shapel's World.
