Isabel Fay
 
Writer and character comedian Isabel Fay began her comedy career in earnest in early 2006, and is well known for her heartwarming creations - hilarious characters steeped in pathos.
 
At the Edinburgh Festival her first solo show Magic Steve's Disappearing Act, featured her magicians assistant character Annette Cadabra: disarmingly endearing, Annette was an instant hit on the comedy circuit.

"Fay gives a barnstorming performance of her own superbly crafted script. This is an extraordinary calling card by Fay. Pure Magic!" **** Chortle

She followed this up with a second hit solo show Isabel Fay: Altar Ego with three characters - most notably Blodwin who has to fake her own wedding, with special guest appearances from Justin Edwards, Renton Skinner, Martin White, Tom Verrell and Paul Kerensa.

"Delightfully insane... Isabel Fay is an excellent character actress" ****The Metro.

The BBC made a short film about this show for the BBC comedy website which became a huge hit there and on youtube.

Her live work is always a collaboration with if.comeddie award winning director Matt Holt (directed Brendan Burns if.comeddie award-winning show 2007) and Perrier award winning producer Tom Hopgood (produced Laura Solon's Perrier award winning show 2005).
