Zoya Isaacs

Zoya Isaacs is a fresh and bright young comedic talent who has created, written and performed in her own sketch show full of very funny and very wrong characters.

Many of Zoya's comedy observations and irreverent writing stems from her colourful and bizarre background that took in everything from Essex Arabic Sunday School to inadvertently finding herself dressed as an egg to dance with a cult film legend, to having to explain to her devout and melodramatic Muslim family how she ended up winning sexy peep hole lingerie at aged 7.

Zoya is a trained actress, singer and dancer who has studied and performed in New York for the past few years. She's done presenting stints on Channel 4, signed and then escaped a pop record deal at 14; and has acted on stage, on screen and on film in the UK and the US.

She is fearless in how far she will go to get a laugh out of a situation, whilst always staying charming, articulate and utterly glamorous. She's also a really smart cookie who is unafraid of being challenging or pushing the envelope when needs be. She is a modern, distinctive and idiosyncratic comedy talent who is very much ahead of her time.
