Orel Marcel Tsabari (Hebrew: אוראל מרסל צברי;[2] born 28 November 1993) is an Israeli comedian, actor, and Internet personality.
Early life
[edit]Tsabari was born in Rehovot to a Yemenite Jewish father, Yakir, and an Ashkenazi Jewish mother, Miriam.[3][4] He has a younger sister.[5] At the age of eight in 2001, he made his television debut with a guest appearance on the children's show BaHeder Shel Hanny hosted by Hanny Nahmias.[1] The following year, his family moved to Europe due to his parents' work as Hebrew teachers.[6] They spent two years in Belgium and one year in France, thanks to which Tsabari learnt French.[3] An unpopular child, he took an interest in comedy and began practicing his impressions by watching recordings of Eretz Nehederet.[3][4] Upon returning to Rehovot, he enrolled in high school at Yeshiva HaDarom,[5] where he took a year of advanced Arabic.[3] In 2011, when he was 17, he auditioned for the ninth season of Kokhav Nolad to imitate judge Margalit Tzan'ani in front of her, to which she reacted positively.[3]
During his mandatory service in the Israel Defense Forces, Tsabari served in Unit 8200 thanks to his knowledge of Arabic.[7] After working at a Club Med ski resort in the French Alps for six months,[3][8] he studied at Ariel University, from which he obtained a bachelor's degree in Middle East and foreign policy.[6] He began his comedy work as a student by creating videos with Yoni Harlap for the company Shrutonim.[6] He also had a recurring segment for two months on Assaf Harel's show Laila Tov Im Assaf Harel on Channel 10.[3] During his third year of university, he did an internship at the municipality of Rehovot and produced social media content. This included comedic videos starring a character of his creation named Irit, which went viral in Israel.[7] After graduating, he worked for the Israeli Ministry of Defense for a year before quitting to fully dedicate himself to his entertainment career.[6]
