We explore deformations of warped conformal field theories (WCFTs) in two dimensions as examples of deformed nonrelativistic quantum field theories. WCFTs are quantum field theories with a Kac-Moody symmetry. We compute the deformed symmetry algebra of a deformed holographic WCFT, using the asymptotic symmetries of with deformed Compére, Song, and Strominger boundary conditions. The U(1) Kac-Moody symmetry survives provided one allows the boundary metric to transform under the asymptotic symmetry. The Virasoro sector remains but is now deformed and no longer chiral.
