Isabel Fay is a British comedy writer and performer.
Fay was born in Bath in 1979 and graduated from Royal Holloway University of London in 2001 with a 2:1 BA (Hons).
Fay appeared in the first series of BBC2's How Not to Live Your Life with Dan Clark and David Armand and co-starred with Dan Clark in Dan Clark's Guide to Dating for Comedy Central.
In 2011 Fay's self-penned debut short film With or Without U2 won Best Comedy Short at the L.A. Comedy Shorts Film Festival, despite the controversy surrounding the film's soundtrack. Fay wrote it to a choral score of U2's With or Without You, but the band personally declined her the license to use the score. Fay arranged for a chorus to sing the score live along to the muted film.
Fay appeared in the film Clive Hole, adapted from a short story by Alexi Sayle and starring David Schneider, Karl Theobald and Susan Vidler. She also appeared in the film Rekindle by Marios Hamboulides, starring Tom Conti, Karl Theobald and My Family's Daniela Denby-Ashe, and she voiced the short film Man in a Cat with Kevin Eldon and Josie Long.
For CBBC Fay appeared in children's comedy shows Little Howard's Big Question and Hacker Time. She was a member of the cast for E4's Dogface, and appeared in the BBC's Comedy Shuffle and The Royal Bodyguard.
