§ 01 · About

Isabelle Farah

British Lebanese actor, comedian, voiceover artist and writer.

Following an undergraduate degree in French and Film Studies, she trained as a classical actress at Drama Studio London. She started doing comedy in 2016 and has since gigged and toured her own shows across the UK and internationally. Her first show, Ellipsis, was the breakout show of the Edinburgh Fringe in 2021, and was listed in Chortle’s round up of best shows at the end of the year. She has also written for TV and Radio, and her first short, Breakfast, was shortlisted for the Funny Women prize in 2020.

She is in demand as a voice artist, and in addition to commercial work and audiobooks, has narrated documentaries for BBC Four, Channel 4, and ITV — including BAFTA-winning To Catch a Copper (Best Factual Series, 2025).

When she's not talking about herself in the third person or being funny for money, she's listening to politics podcasts, watching MAFSA, and being held accountable by the Duolingo owl. Lives in North London, reads The Guardian, and recently became a mother.
