About the author

Dana Deltrum says she's incredibly funny - just ask her! Whilst Dana may be delusional about her comic finesse, she certainly knows what makes her laugh (puppies tumbling over each other in play) and who (witty comedians with a message). When not immersed in the world of comedy, Dana enjoys watching the world's happenings from her Bayview window and hanging out with three of her favorite people in the world, her nieces, eating pizza, and ice cream - not necessarily in that order! Join Dana as she shares her favorite comedians with you
