Al Isaacs is a writer, storyteller, and retired comedian whose work blends humor with deeply personal truth. Twice named Long Island’s Best Comedian by the Long Island Press, he spent more than twenty years teaching improvisational comedy at theaters, comedy clubs, corporate events, and Hofstra University’s Continuing Education program.

His award winning memoir, Finding Mary Smith, tells the true story of accidentally discovering his gray market adoption and the extraordinary, against-all-odds journey to find his birth family after more than fifty years. Known for finding humor in unlikely places, Isaacs writes with honesty, heart, and a comedian’s instinct for timing—even when the subject turns deeply emotional. He lives in the New York area with his wife and son, and believes that the best stories are the ones that prove real life is stranger, funnier, and more meaningful than fiction.
