Today we're sitting down with Deanna Ortiz!

Deanna started miming Dane Cook in middle school, and now is a cast member on the Lincoln Lodge, which is the longest-running independent comedy showcase in the United States.

A lot happened in between those two points, in which Deanna cultivated a casual delivery for her quick-witted, hybrid comedy style. One part observational, one part confessional short stories with tight punchlines.
