This week I'm joined by comedian and violist Isabel Hagen (@isabelhagen_). We discuss the feature film she is making, "On A String," going to Juilliard for Viola, combining viola and stand up in her act, her sets on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the parallel's between stand up and viola, the discipline and competitiveness in training to be a classically trained musician, her musical family, why she started stand up comedy, manifesting your future dreams, Natalie's desire to be a talk show host, the emotional nature of music, Isabel's favorite music to listen to on the subway, Isabel's experience playing in Orchestra pits, the stereotypical personality of a conductor, the inspiration behind Isabel's decision to play viola, realizing your parents have a dirty sense of humor, how Natalie's mom influenced her comedy, Natalie hating that her mom is funny, being comfortable doing voices at home, Isabel's decision to make a feature film, the reality of pursuing your dreams and so much more!   #nataliecuomo #cuomo #natalie #help #help! #podcast #standup #comedy #comedian #tattoos #isabelhagen #viola   Get 20% OFF @manscaped + Free Shipping with promo code NATALIEC at MANSCAPED.com! #ad #manscapedpod ?
