Crystal’s Team Pick: DeAnne Smith’s Australian Tour

Good news, Australia. Over the next three months you’re going to have multiple opportunities to experience the wit and charm of DeAnne Smith in person.

DeAnne is taking her act, “About Freakin’ Time,” to the Sydney and Melbourne comedy festivals. For 50 minutes, DeAnne vows to dissect that pesky fourth dimension, broaching time travel, God, vengeful dolphins, and more. Plus deliver at least 450 seconds of bonus unscripted hilarity!

She’ll also be traveling around the country as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival roadshow.

Here’s what the critics are saying.

“Smart. Accessible. Engaging. A winning combination.” – The Age

“Witty, sideswipe punchlines. This gal’s ready for the big leagues.” – Time Out Sydney

“I’m quite good at comedy.” – DeAnne Smith

  2. Australia has some pretty cool city names. To all who are going I hope you all have the funniest / best time ever!!

  4. Assuming I haven’t been irradiated in Japan and turned into Godzilla, I’ll be there in Sydney on the 7th! Which means YOU SHOULD TOO.

  5. I was gonna go to Cairns just because its way closer, but I’m thinking a trip to Sydney is in order?

  6. I got to see her at Feast Festival in Adelaide last year and then saw her again during the Fringe…. I touched her…. that sounds creepy…..
    We saw the lovely as always DeAnne Smith and then got a good dose of laughs from the hil-fucking-arious Hannah Gadsby. It was an amaaaaazing evening!!
