About Izsi Lawrence…
Iszi is a stand up comedian, podcaster and Fringe poster designer. In this episode I interviewed her on everything from self-promotion to marketing materials at different festivals. If you want to hear a podcast all about “branding” as a performer you can do so in episode 8 [Podcast here].
On of my biggest “take aways” from it was –
“Always use your face in your adverts because people are essentially monkeys and always looking for faces in everything. So it gives people something to connect with.” – Izsi Lawrence
