Canadian-American comic DeAnne Smith has been challenging audiences with her smart, cutting stand-up on TV and at festivals around the world since launching her comedy career in Montreal more than a decade ago.
Now she’s back, and performing a run of critically-acclaimed shows at this year’s edition of the Just For Laughs festival.
In this conversation we talk about America under Trump, put Trudeau under the microscope and play a round of “Name That Political Autobiography.”
