Please join us to hear the comedic stylings of DeAnne Smith! Here is a bit about them.

Who's DeAnne Smith? Well, not only are they the humble person writing this bio, they're an international comedy sensation. Their video “Straight Men Step Up Your Game” has been viewed over 47 million times, and if they look familiar to you, it's probably because your high school friend posted it in their Facebook feed. DeAnne's critically-acclaimed Netflix special, Gentleman Elf, is available right this minute as part of the groundbreaking Comedians of the World series. They've performed everywhere from Iceland to New Zealand (oh my gosh, remember travel?) and is a regular at both the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Montreal's prestigious, invite-only Just for Laughs Comedy Festival. You may have seen them on NBC, CBS, HBO, or CBC (if you watch Canadian television). Time Out Melbourne says DeAnne "blends smart and silly subjects with expert conviction" and the UK Telegraph says they're "Very funny. Effortless charm lets them get away with murder." They've never actually murdered anyone.
