This week’s episode of The HonyDew Sickler is joined by comedian Shapel Lacey.
Shapel Highlights the Lowlights of growing up with an abusive stepfather, being adopted into a white family, and reconnecting with his biological father after getting out of prison.
His unique life experiences such as being adopted by a Caucasian family at age 15, his punk rock mentality, and his stage presence make for a truly original voice in the comedy community. Diligence and the desire to grow led Shapel from the Phoenix open mic circuit onto main stages, where he regularly performed for comedians such as Bill Burr, Hannibal Buress, and Brendan Schaub, and is now headlining clubs across the country. Shapel was selected to be a “New Face” at the 2019 Just For Laughs Comedy Festival.
