Marc Isaac (They/Them preferred) is a quirky, queer, comedian, born and bred in Glesga in Scotland, and now based mainly in Melbourne, Australia. Marc’s comedy is fun and cheeky, and draws on experiences growing up neurodivergent in the east end of Glasgow and working as a medical doctor, particularly in palliative care and mental health. Despite their shy and reflective personality off-stage, they’ve always loved performing and entertaining audiences, sharing witticisms and funny anecdotes from a colourful life. You name it, Marc’s got a story about ‘that one time…’
Since attending Melbourne comedy school, Hard Knock Knocks in 2023, Marc's gone on to produce hit shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Sydney Comedy Festival in 2024, aiming to “Make Stand Up Gay Again!”

About this event
They're camp!
They're smutty!
And they're outrageously quirky!
Witness the Rise and Fall of your Average Autistic Caledonian Poof
This is Scottish comedic storytelling, as we journey with Marc Isaac navigating the spectrum, through childhood & then medical school and ending up queer and autistic working in palliative care and mental health.
What does it mean to get a diagnosis? How can understanding ourselves help us deal with the neurodivergent challenges? Come explore neurodivergence with medical perspectives, queer perspectives, and manifestly autistic perspectives, maintaining the cynicism of a perpetual skeptic and the hopefulness of a naïve optimist
"Laughter is the best medicine, and this cheeky physician is putting themselves out of the doctor business!" Brad Oakes, comedian
