A true professional

I was searching everywhere for a comedian for my husband’s 40th birthday and thankfully found Danette! I saw some of her video clips and found she had a tasteful style to her performance. She reached out, asked how she can personalize the performance and on the day of the show she arrived on time and you can tell she did her research! She had items in her set that even my 82 year old father-in-law enjoyed! She got some interaction from the crowd and gave them enough space to say what they needed while taking the show back in a seamless way! I thoroughly enjoyed having Danette be a huge part of our celebration! I would highly recommend her, you won’t be disappointed!

About

I'm a Stand Up Comedian, Actor and Emcee from New York. My family is from Puerto Rico and I'm the oldest of five cool kids. I'm a graduate of the New School where I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Humanities and Social Sciences and yet still sometimes misspell words. I've performed my dry, sarcastic, silly sets all over NYC, LA, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Paris and Japan. As you can see I love travel and appreciate all people. I care about the environment, animals, children, fashion and the arts.
