Review #22 - Deanne Smith in Let’s Do This
Tiny Canadian Princess of Comedy is Deanne’s official title. Deanne and I go way back - like a year - and I was really bummed that I wasn’t gonna make it to her show this year… EXCEPT FOR THAT I DID MAKE IT! I did! And I’m so super glad I did, because it was fabuballs.
Deanne is a pint-size performer but she makes up for her tininess with her hugeness of spirit and humour. Armed with a ukulele and a microphone she both entertains and offends audiences across the festival. She even does Instagram jokes, which I’ve found that I love, because I love Instagram. She even has members of the audience suggest and act out a scenario for everyone to Instagram so we can prove we’re having a friggin awesome time. You’ll learn phrases like TELL IT TO MY BALLS and HEIL CLITLER and it’s worth it for that alone. You might even slow dance with a stranger. Who knows?
I love Deanne and I love this show, and I’m sad I can’t recommend it to anyone because the festival is over now. But! Since she’s from Canada, she’ll be all over the place! If she’s in your city I super recommend you check her out, she’s a great comedian.
I was sitting in the front row, and by the very end of it, she remembered who I was and said “thank YOU, Greta Punch, for coming. I just realised who you were. It was driving me crazy” - and if that isn’t service, I dunno what is.
4.5/5
soz to interrupt your bloggin’, but look at my attention to detail.

Okay, okay tumblr. You can see.
Today I did a shoot with the ever-fabulous DeAnne Smith of Canadia. She was awesome to work with (and hardly recognised herself after the make-up and hair was finished).
