Shapel Lacey is a Los Angeles based comedian born and raised in Mesa, Arizona. A diehard punk rocker and former award-winning competitive cheerleader, Shapel found ways to express himself and own his individuality at an early age.

Shapel was cheerleading competitively for University of Louisville when someone dared him to take the stage as a comedian and he never looked back, dropping out shortly thereafter to pursue a career in stand up full-time.

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.

    The timing on the punting joke is classic.
  • @TrustMelDontCare
    I literally woke up today, checked youtube to see if yall had uploaded. Good thing I've chosen to check again after lunch. I could use some mid-day laughs to carry me through the afternoon! On the note of being black at a punk show, I love metal. I once went to a Metallica concert and someone asked me why my "black ass" was there 😅 too bad I'm not one to get upset. I just kept on walking and enjoyed the show, one of the best concerts of my life!
  • @orllyfools14X8
