About this episode
Stories? Questions? Thoughts? TEXT us here!In this episode, we talk with someone (way) funnier than us: stand-up comedian and classically trained violist Isabel Hagen! From her appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to her headlining gig at the American Viola Society Festival in June of 2022, she is becoming known for her unique brand of…sometimes musical… comedy. Isabel is very open about her struggles with performance anxiety and shares how it surfaces in her stand-up gigs. We discuss the value of being a beginner at something, and her experience with building a career from the bottom up. She’s warm, relatable and always ready to laugh - we think you’ll love this one!**If you enjoyed this episode, please consider rating and writing a quick review for our podcast!
