The social media star is coming to the city as part of his debut national tour ‘Bad for Your Health.’
Isaac started doing stand-up five years ago at open mic nights around Newcastle.
After a while Isaac began doing gigs in Sydney and it was around this time that he began uploading funny videos on social media.
The videos became a great success for the Newcastle born comedian, with some getting between 80,000 to 188,000 views.

Although Isaac knew he always wanted to tour and be a successful comedian, he didn’t think it would happen so soon.
“It’s been crazy.. I’m getting photos with kids at the local supermarket,” he said.
“It’s exceeded expectations.. who knows what is next on the horizon.”
Isaac, who used to work in marketing and was a former disability support worker, said he is currently focusing on the tour and his social media content.
“Dubbo will be the 32nd stop (on the tour).. it’ll be my first time there. I’m really looking forward to it,” he said.

“People can expect a great show. It’s all very good fun.”
Nothing is off the table for Isaac, who talks about everything from being a young bloke in Newcastle, to relationships and taboo subjects.
Some of those taboo subjects he says, include religion and political corrections.
“My job is I can say whatever I want and there are no repercussions,” he said.
Although Isaac admits he has copped some heat with certain things he’s spoken about.

“I’ve had a run in with the whole country of New Zealand. Which is hilarious,” he said.
“But I’ve also had death threats from cyclists to vegans.. I make fun of them, but it all comes form a good place.”
Isaac has put together some of his favourite jokes that might just be 'Bad for Your Health'.
After the Australian tour wraps up, Isaac will perform at the Melbourne Comedy festival and then he will travel overseas to Edinburgh.
The Dubbo show will be held on Friday, September 14 at the Dubbo RSL.
The show will commence at approximately 8pm.
