Isabel Hagen

Club Bio:

Isabel Hagen is a stand-up comedian and classically trained violist. As a stand-up, she has been featured on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon multiple times, and as a New Face of Comedy at the prestigious Just for Laughs festival in Montréal. Isabel started stand-up immediately after earning her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in viola performance from the Juilliard School. As a violist, she has played in the orchestra of many Broadway shows, and worked with artists such as Bjork, Max Richter, and Steve Reich. You might be wondering if Isabel ever combines comedy and viola. The answer: sometimes!

Comedian and Juilliard-trained violist Isabel Hagen (seen on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon) explores self-doubt, consciousness, and a little sexuality while tackling big questions like, “what does it mean to be happy?” and “what’s a viola?” in this one-woman viola and comedy variety show that is like nothing you’ve ever seen before.

Isabel Hagen is a stand-up comedian and a classically trained violist. Every little girl’s dream. She began pursuing stand-up upon graduating from The Juilliard School. Her parents have been surprisingly supportive of this. Isabel was named a "New Face of Comedy" at Montreal's Just for Laughs Festival in 2019. She made her debut performance on “The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon” March 11, 2020, and a second appearance on October 26, 2022.

Her Dry Bar special “Good Sport” is out now, and she is currently filming “On A String” which she wrote and is producing.
