# Laughing with Seneca’s ‘funny’ girl

Ask Seneca graduate [Isabel Kanaan](https://www.isabelkanaan.com/) when she realized she was funny, the Filipino-Canadian comedian and film and theatre actor will show you how to deliver a punchline.

“I still don’t think I’m funny,” she said.

Ms. Kanaan, who graduated from the [Acting for Camera & Voice diploma program](https://www-preview.senecacollege.ca/programs/fulltime/ACV.html), makes a living making people laugh on stage, on television and on social media.

Most recently, Ms. Kanaan co-created, wrote and starred in [*Abroad*](https://www.omnitv.ca/on/en/shows/abroad/), a 12-part English-Tagalog comedy series on OMNI Television. The show is based on [her TikTok videos about being an immigrant in Canada](https://www.tiktok.com/@isabelkanaan).
