Izzy Showbizzy and Marty Guilfoyle pair up for Cork singles event with a difference

'It’s not Take me Out, it’s not speed dating it’s come, have a laugh, meet new people'

Isabel Bartak Healy, better known as Izzy Showbizzy has taken on a new role as a matchmaker — and a new nickname.

Following the success of a light bulb moment during lockdown, Cork’s own Isabel Bartak-Healy, better known as Izzy Showbizzy, is preparing for a dating event like no other in the hopes of helping singles find love — or even friendship.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the Red FM presenter started a series on Instagram that was aimed at bringing single people from across the country together virtually. The idea came after her Instagram followers expressed their frustration at trying to date during a lockdown.
