Isobel Ryan is Writing Comedy
(and can write some for you, if you like)
‘Isobel has a playful, mischievous curiosity in the world around her. The work she creates is outward-looking yet utterly relatable. She makes delicious observations without judgement, always wonder.’
— Comedian, broadcaster and writer, Shappi Khorsandi
‘I love Isobel’s language and her instincts to use funny words…she’s never short on really original and interesting ideas…’
— Comedy writer, director and performer, Rachel Stubbings

About Isobel
Britain’s Happiest Woman
Normal, sane, averagely happy/averagely miserable Alex Weatherby is horrified to discover that, right in the middle of a marital and financial crisis, thanks to an app she doesn’t know how to turn off, she’s been declared ‘Britain’s Happiest Woman’. The title comes with an impossible-to-turn-down cash injection, as long as she agrees to road-testing a dubious wellness brand’s ‘happiness programme’, just when she couldn’t be more miserable.
Directed by Sydney Stevenson, and featuring Katherine Bennett-Fox, Tom Slatter and Jonty Weston, you can watch the teaser film that Isobel wrote and produced for her National Film and Television Comedy Writing and Production grad project here.
