Buchwald Launches Live Events Division, Hires Agent Isaiah Jones

EXCLUSIVE: Buchwald is expanding its representation into live events with the launch of a new division and the addition of Touring agent Isaiah Jones, who joins the agency after more than nine years at UTA.

Jones brings a deep background in comedy, music touring and live entertainment. At UTA, he launched his career in Music Touring, booking rock, indie and pop acts, before expanding into comedy and live entertainment. As part of this, he played a key role in expanding touring opportunities for nontraditional talent, including podcasters, digital creators and reality television personalities.

Since transitioning into comedy, Jones has worked with an eclectic range of talent for live events, including stand-up comedians, digital creators, podcasters, children’s character-based live stage shows, authors and more. He’ll be based in Buchwald’s New York office.

In a joint statement, Buchwald CEO and President Julia Buchwald and Co-President Ryan Martin told us, “We’re thrilled to welcome Isaiah to Buchwald and expand our presence in live events with his addition. Isaiah brings an incredible depth of experience, a passion for talent and a forward-thinking approach to representation. We’re excited to build this new division together and create even more opportunities for artists across the space.”
