Dearen and her wife, Nikole, have a reputation for producing the best shows in town featuring some of the nations most celebrated talent and hand-picked fresh faces.
Dearen worked with the prestigious Just For Laughs Comedy Festival Montréal 2018/2019 on the small team that scouts and selects â€"New Facesâ€.
