This week on Center Stage: Shapel Lacey!

Shapel Lacey is an American 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 the 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), punk-rock mentality, and stage presence combined make for a truly original voice in the community. He regularly performed for comedians such as Bill Burr, Hannibal Buress, Bryan Callen, and Frank Caliendo.
