I love stand-up comedy. I follow a variety of funny people, including Bert Kreischer, Michelle Wolf, Kate Micucci, Jimmy Cash, Saaniya, and Adam Conover. As a consequence, my social media feeds are loaded with suggested videos of stand-up bits from a variety of comedians. I stumbled into Shahak Shapira this way. This guy is pretty incredible.
Born in Israel, immigrated to Germany as a boy, one of Shapira's grandfathers survived the Holocaust, and the other was murdered during the infamous Munich Olympic Games. He has made a name for himself as an activist by challenging Twitter for being unwilling to take down racist and antisemitic tweets, and working with Die Parte to undermine Nazi Party social media groups.
He also does stand-up, which I'm grateful for. In the clip above, he begins a bit about the Dark Web, but gets hijacked by an audience member. I am also grateful for this woman from Slovakia who shared with everyone the very real (probably) website called Get Gnomed. The site promises to "gnome" a target's house with garden gnomes for a fee. Tappy tap the image below for the Know Your Meme entry, complete with videos.
