The Broken Magic Comedy Hour is a stand-up comedy series brought to you by founding OK Party member and national touring comedian Zach Peterson. Featuring some of the best stand-up comics in the Midwest and beyond, The BMCH is a professionally run show that will have you coming back for more month after month. This special edition of the show will also feature Deanna Ortiz as the special guest. Voted Best Standup in *The Chicago Reader* three years in a row and named one of *Time Out’s* Comics to Watch in 2025, she is the host of the podcast *Crushes!*, the Signal Award-winning audio series *It’s Crime For Bed* on Hatch+, and *The Drunk Cooking Show* on Instagram. She has worked as a contributing writer for NPR’s *Wait Wait... Don’t Tell Me!* and her stand-up has been featured in *Vulture*, *WGN News*, *FOX Good Day Chicago*, and *Time Out Chicago*. A fixture in the Chicago comedy scene, she regularly performs at venues like The Laugh Factory, Zanies, and The Lincoln Lodge, where she has been a cast member since 2016. Known for blending narrative storytelling with sharp observational humor and vulnerability, Deanna brings a style that feels conversational and relatable, covering topics like dating, everyday awkwardness, and self-doubt.
