Deanna Ortiz: Funny Slut
The Comedy Corner Underground
About
A solo show by comedian Deanna Ortiz (3x voted Chicago Readers Best Standup, 2025 Time Out Comics To Watch)
Deanna Ortiz used to think her job was just posting thirst traps for pornstars. Turns out, it was also therapy… with a 401(k). In Funny Slut, Deanna tells the hilarious and unexpectedly heartfelt story of working in social media for the adult entertainment industry, where she learned to embrace chaos, confidence, and her inner hot girl all while replying “Thanks, babe!” to strangers in the comments.
Through NSFW inboxes, awkward Zoom calls, and the daily existential crisis of writing obscenities in a brand-safe tone, Deanna found something bigger than a paycheck… herself.
Funny Slut is a sharp, self-aware, and hilarious look at what happens when your day job
is sex, and your side hustle is soul-searching. It's for anyone who's ever felt weird about their job, their body, or their browser history.

Voted Best Standup in The Chicago Reader’s 3 years in a row, and named one of Time Out’s Comics To Watch in 2025, Deanna Ortiz is the host of the podcast ‘Crushes!’, The Signal Award Winning audio series ‘It’s Crime For Bed’ on Hatch+, and The Drunk Cooking Show on Instagram. She has worked as a contributing writer for NPR’s Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, and her standup has been featured in Vulture, WGN News, FOX Good Day Chicago, and TimeOut Chicago.
Over the years, she has become a fixture in the Chicago comedy scene, performing regularly at The Laugh Factory, Zanies, and the Lincoln Lodge (where she’s been part of the cast since 2016). Her comedic voice blends narrative storytelling, sharp observational humor, and vulnerability. Deanna tackles topics such as dating, daily awkwardness, and self‑doubt in a way that feels like she’s talking with the audience, not at them.
Deanna continues performing across Chicago and beyond, headlining shows, collaborating on creative content, and expanding her voice in podcasting and writing.
