From the silly to the serious, there's a story lurking in every subject. With my skills as a presenter, writer, interviewer, and comedian, I can help you find it, and enthuse your audience with the same passion you feel for your project.
With my experience as Host of Making History on Radio 4, plus talking head for Netflix (The Lost Pirate Kingdom) as well as oodles of live work, I can help make unfamiliar topics engaging for a general audience.
I’ve also chaired all sorts of panels from discussions at the Bath Children’s Literature Festival to lively debates at The British Science Festival.
Struggling to come up with ideas for your event?
I can help you curate the ideal entertainment that will keep your audience, colleagues, friends and visitors highly entertained. I do bespoke live projects for venues, in a variety of locations and for different audiences. From comedic tours of Dulwich Picture Gallery to panel shows at the British Library. I also put on unique shows for festivals, for example, an entire evening show with various acts talking solely about the History of Medicine for The British Science Festival. I’m happy to present awards as I did at QED Festival as well as MC events both online for HistFest and live for Conway Hall’s Ethical Gala. Nothing is too obscure or weird but always fun and inevitably funny.
"Iszi has performed multiple times at Conway Hall and most recently, hosted our Ethical Gala. She is an engaging speaker and delivered perfect compèring for our annual fundraising event. She kept the evening rolling smoothly by ensuring the audience were totally engaged and provided just the right balance of humour and gravitas. I would throughly recommend Iszi for any event hosting.” - Jim Walsh Chief Executive
"Iszi is my absolute cast-iron go-to performer. I've booked her for big nerd comedy shows like the New Scientist Xmas party and she always rocks the place. If you need jokes with brains, Iszi is someone you can book with 100% confidence.” - Steve Cross Science Showoff
