Ben Isaac

benisaac@adelphia.net

Ben Isaac grew up in South Central Bethesda, MD. “It was rough. We only had one live-in maid. And she refused to work weekends. The stains on my lacrosse uniform would just sit there while Marta squandered her Sundays at the homeless shelter ... I still hate her.”

Ben’s comedy focuses mainly on the struggles of being Jewish in an increasingly indifferent world.

Ben’s shows frequently end in violence due to his controversial political views. While Isaac is vehemently opposed to abortion, he favors infanticide. “I think we’re killing the wrong babies. We need wait until they’re at least six months old – then slaughter the really annoying ones.”

Ben has started a grass roots campaign that fights for the rights of the non-retarded. He has several friends who are not retarded, and he just wants to make sure they get a fair shake in life.

Ben’s long term goal is to have his circumcision reversed and is busy trying to locate the missing foreskin on eBay ... If anyone knows the whereabouts of a Moil named Gilad, please contact him.

Ben has performed at the DC Improv, Baltimore Improv, Wiseacres, and a hundred other s***holes in seven states.

He’s worked with Tommy Davidson*, Patton Oswalt, and most of the comics on this Web site.

Most memorable gig: The Cheyenne Country Club. "I think the people were just so surprised that I actually showed up ... after a long afternoon of 'Capture the Jew.'"

Tommy Davidson on Ben’s act: "That white guy sure was white ... and you can quote me."
