Ellipsis

A candid look at grief, and how we show and hide it.

Isabelle's first show, bridging theatre and comedy. A candid look at the year following her cousin's death by suicide, Ellipsis received rave reviews and had a sellout run at EdFringe 2021, before transferring to the Soho Theatre. She took it to the Pleasance in London and back to EdFringe in 2022, then on a small tour in 2023. She spoke about it on BBC Woman's Hour and Al Jazeera. Now streaming on NextUp Comedy.

Nebuchadnezzar

A silly show about love and war.

Isabelle's first foray into character comedy and narrative work onstage. An hour of stand-up, characters, and irreverent storytelling: a love story about Nebuchadnezzar and his wife, his British assistant Jeff, and about the theft of ancient artefacts for the British Museum.
