Matt Iseman Was Initially a Doctor

Iseman narrated the story behind his transition from being a doctor to a stand-up comedian in the Now Brian Copeland show in 2015. He was a bright student who loved intellectual challenges.

Following his interest, he studied MBBS course at the Princeton University. He became a licensed doctor with a degree from Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons.

The 50-year-old then served as an on-call physician at the University of Colorado alongside his father, Dr. Michael, who served the same hospital as a medical professor.

Having done a few stand-up gigs in his college days, he thought he would take a break from the medical field and give comedy a shot. He planned to try his luck with comedy and see where he ended up in one year.

To his surprise, his parents were incredibly supportive of his decision, especially his world-renowned physician dad. He advised Iseman to do what made him happy, saying, “Life is short. Do what makes you happy."
