The Canadian-American festival favourite returns for the first time since 2019 with what could be described as a meditation on loss…but like, in an hilarious way.

Spontaneous, surprising and uplifting, DeAnne’s latest show touches on gender-affirming surgeries, marriage (the gay kind), death and feeeeeeelings. As an audience member recently said "It’s like hearing you read from your journal", which honestly felt like a burn.
