Isaac Paris, a veteran of large music festivals and tiny dingy bars has written for burlesque shows and performed in both the fiercely competitive New York city comedy scene and the welcoming world of public libraries and schools.He showcased in Toronto at North by North East in 2013, and was a finalist at “Quackin Me Up” in Eugene, OR in 2014. He was voted fourth funniest person in Eugene in the 2017 Ladd Off. Kind, mature ladies in pink hats tell him he should be on Carson. He doesn’t have the heart to tell them that’s impossible without a time machine. He can do a “clean” show for that all ages can enjoy, piling on the absurdity with puns and odd observations, and clever jokes about science, or a more adult show commenting on societal taboos and hypocrisies. One kind fan said, “he’s like Bill Hicks, but gentler, so everyone could enjoy it.”
Using a large flip book to accentuate, show off his mad drawing skills, and remember his next line, the performance is an old-school multimedia presentation: a retro vaudeville act flipped on its head.
