She’s been called the “Best Comedian to See After a Messy Breakup” – with her unflinching honesty and openness, and such a deeply personal act, we can see why. Debra DiGiovanni began her career in 2000 and immediately made leaps and bounds in the comedy world with two Canadian stand up specials for CTV/Comedy Network. She taped her first set on Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham recorded in New York City. Since, she’s taped comedy segments for Gotham Live, Stand Up in Stilettos in Los Angeles, and Stand and Deliver for NuvoTV. She was a finalist on the 5th season of NBC’s hit show Last Comic Standing – making it to the Top 8 comedians. She is a Gemini aware winner for best televised comedy performance of 2009.
