Deanna Ortiz’s Funny Slut is a show that blends stand-up, dating horror stories, and multimedia to examine my time working in social media for the adult entertainment industry, a job that turned out to be equal parts content strategy, crisis management, and surprisingly… therapy.

A three-time Chicago Reader “Best Standup” winner and one of Time Out’s 2025 Comics to Watch, Deanna Ortiz has recently performed the show at Zanies Chicago, Madison Comedy Festival, and The Lincoln Lodge, where it has received an incredible response from audiences who connected to her mix of outrageous workplace stories and vulnerable revelations.

Throughout Funny Slut, Ortiz explores not only what it's like to write obscenities in a brand-safe tone, but also how watching this content made her a more body-positive, confident, and fearless person. While she definitely leans into the absurdity of the job, Funny Slut ultimately is a show about self-worth and finding female empowerment in the least expected places.
