Performance Style of Debra DiGiovanni
Debra begins her concert by paying tribute to her audience – in her typically deadpan fashion: “Thank-you for giving me reason to get out of my pyjamas tonight.”Then the rant begins…. Debra’s comedy has a sharp edge while maintaining a playful, happy air. Her persona is one of the best developed of any comic working today. And couple that with a hilarious act that is so personal everyone can relate – and you see why Debra is so popular.
Personality: Debra DiGiovanni does offer some helpful counsel to all men in dealing with women: “If you want to make a woman really mad, tell her to relax. That will do it. I’ll flip over a table if someone tells me that.” — Debra DiGiovanni
