@deanne_smith appreciation post!
This #Thanksgiving weekend I'll be giving thanks to everyone who went on the wild ride that is
@nycomedyfest with me this year. Today I'm spotlighting one of my closest friends who I hadn't seen IRL in YEARS, DeAnne Smith!!
DeAnne and I started as friends i think(?) in 2020 via (rip) #ComedyQuarantine which lead to us working together on (rip) #SelfCareComedy which then lead us to keep virtually working together on DeAnne Smith & Acquaintences up until present day (with our next DS&A on Fri 12/12!)
When I knew I'd be going to NY for the festival I texted D asap so we could finally reunite IRL! As show date approached, stress and a sicky Rudy almost stole our chance to meet up, but thankfully everyone got better just in time for an AMAZING night at
@qedastoria ! Shout out the GOAT of #Astoria comedy Hannah at QED who helped make my first time there so inviting, comfortable and EASY. And thanks to
@thecaitlinreese for opening the show up, she rocks and defies our modern ideas of "aging."
We had a house full of DeAnne appreciators who all had a great time seeing the new hour in progress. Can't spoil anything but DS&A heads may recognize the picture of Revolutionary Rudy™️
If you wanna hear
@deanne_smith 's take on the show, as well as new bits and laughs from 3 amazing jokers from the comfort of your own home, join us for the next DS&A on Zoom! We'll also be raising $$ for
@onewarmcoat , a national org focused on providing clothing to kids & adults while also tackling fashion waste. As always, pay what YOU choose for the link to help us pay the performers and donate to this month's charity. Tix in bio!
