Isabella Valette is a multi-talented performer and creator based in Melbourne, Australia.

As a teenager, Isabella attended high school in Italy, where she became fluent in Italian and developed a lifelong passion for history. Her international education continued in London, where she pursued a BA Hons in Musical Theatre at the prestigious Arts Educational Schools London, which is presided over by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Her one-woman productions include “Media Release” (2015), “Princesstuous” (2016), “Hi Visabella” (2018), and “How Far I’ll Go” (2019). The latter, directed by Declan Fay (co-writer of “Ronnie Chieng: International Student”), earned Isabella the Best Solo Show award at the 2020 Hobart Fringe.

Isabella’s show “Cabaret Unscripted” garnered significant acclaim, receiving a nomination for Best Cabaret at Melbourne Fringe 2023 and nine Judges’ Picks.

The show’s success continued at Perth Fringeworld and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, where it received two prestigious Green Room Award nominations, winning for Most Outstanding Musical Direction.

She is also a regular contributor to ABC 774’s Drive Home segment “Pundamonium,” where she showcases her wit by creating puns for headlines alongside Allie Moore and David Astle.

She has been a member of improv troupes ‘Impromptunes,’ and ‘The Big HOO HAA’ since 2014, with whom she has performed in numerous festivals.

Most recently she was asked to create Melbourne Fringe’s 2025 EOFY Donor song and video, which she co-produced, starred in and created the concept and co-wrote the song ‘Modern Day Medici,’ as well as recently emceeing the Melbourne Fringe launch.
