Michael Shafar is a comedian and writer for Channel 10's The Project based in Melbourne. In 2017, at the age of 26, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer.

 

After five rounds of surgery and 24 weeks of chemotherapy, he was finally declared to be in remission. He has since toured his show 50/50 around Australia, which chronicles the entire experience.
