History
Shane is of German and Irish descent. He has said that his distant ancestors were Jewish and went by the name “Mosche” (Hebrew word for ‘Moses’) in 17th century Switzerland.
According to Shane, he has wanted to be a standup comedian since he was ten years old. At age 15, he started writing jokes but due to anxiety and being unsure as to how to get into standup comedy, he didn't pursue a career until the age of 23. Shane intended on going to New York City or Los Angeles to start his career but instead decided to move to Boston with a friend. For several months, Shane performed at open mic nights in Boston while struggling with anxiety. By practicing and with the help of friends, Shane overcame his anxiety and began performing in comedy clubs approximately six months after starting his career as a standup comedian. Shortly after he started playing in clubs, Shane entered into the Greater Boston Alternative Comedy Festival and made it to the final round of elimination. He partially credits the attention he received from this achievement for launching his career and has performed at the festival several times since.
In 2007, shortly after his first performance at the Greater Boston Alternative Comedy Festival, Shane won the Best Standup Comic Award at HBO's Comedy Arts Festival. This led to Shane being invited to perform several times on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. He has since performed on Conan O'Brien's various late night talk shows a total of five times.
In 2010, Shane published his first comedy album, Jokes To Make My Parents Proud. Punchline Magazine named the album, one of the top ten albums of 2010.
Shane has filmed a new one-hour special, which is in postproduction.
On June 18, 2014, Shane appeared on Ken Reid's TV Guidance Counselor podcast.
