DeAnne Smith, Ahamed Weinberg

In a 2017 performance, queer standup comedian DeAnne Smith gave a tip to straight men: “As much as you’re going down on your lady right now: double it, triple it. You’re welcome.” Perpetually clad in a bowtie, the Canadian American joke slinger is known for their stinging jabs at lesbian culture, deconstructing the hilarity of gender stereotypes and spoiling their pet Chihuahua with dog treats made from bull penis. Smith also hosts the podcast Questionable at Best, in which the comedian and a guest dig into a single question. Smith performs two sets each on Friday and Saturday, August 24 and 25, at the Vermont Comedy Club in Burlington. Ahamed Weinberg adds support.
