“I describe myself as an observational comic,” says Tulsa-native Isaac Witty, “but I’m more self-observational. I pretty much talk about myself, the situations I put myself into. It’s always about me and human interactions that are awkward.” That can go back quite a ways. “Remember back in middle school the gym teacher would say ‘OK. Everybody get into groups of two?’ ” he asks an audience. “Some people couldn’t find a partner, so they had to settle for who was left. I think that’s how I’m going to get married. ‘Here’s your soul mate.’ Yeah, she’s equally disappointed.” Witty also dispenses travel advice. “If you ever go to the Middle East, don’t make the mistake I did and use the maps in the back of your Bible to get around. Those are way out of date.” Isaac Witty performs at Go Bananas Thursday-Sunday. $8-$12. Get showtimes, tickets and find nearby bars and restaurants here.
