Does there exist a function $f:\mathbb{C}^2\to \mathbb{C}$ holomorphic aside from at singularities with isolated singularities?

All the examples I've been able to come up with are either non-holomorphic or fail the condition. For example, with the 1D case we can take $$f(z) = \frac{1}{1+z^2}$$ With singularities at $\pm i$. If we try to extend this to some $$f(z,w) = \frac{1}{1+(z+w)^2}$$We now have singularities at $z=-w\pm i$ Which is not at all what we wanted.

Hartogs extension principle (simple version using Hartogs figure suffices) means that there are no isolated singularities. There aren't even any compact singularities. If a function has an actual nonremovable "singularity", then that singularity will go off to infinity somehow, just like in your example.
