Recently they were featured on Netflix again this time in “Hannah Gadsby’s Gender Agenda” a showcase of trans and gender non-conforming comedians.

The UK Telegraph called DeAnne “[Smart], very funny [with an] effortless charm that lets them get away with murder.” The Philadelphia Weekly called their monthly stand up show “DeAnarchy” in New York City one of the best comedy shows in the country.

Onstage, Smith is candid about their personal experience, endearing, and hilarious. Smith would also like you to know when you meet them that they’ve likely had so much caffeine their eyes are vibrating and man do they have ADHD pretty hard.
