Ava Val
Ava Val is a comedian/musician/actress from Toronto. Her honest and insightful-yet-silly & spontaneous account of her transgender journey has turned heads across North America, earning her repeat appearances at renowned festivals such as Just For Laughs, JFL Toronto and Vancouver, Off-JFL/Zoofest, the Winnipeg and Ha!ifax Comedy Festivals, The Arctic Comedy Festival, and many others, as well as earned her a writing role on the 30th season of "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" and a spot on "Roast Battle Canada" season four.
Though she has taped numerous standup performances for CBC Gem, Crave, CTV, CBC Radio's Laugh Out Loud, has a new standup comedy special "So Brave" available on YouTube, hosts her own podcast "PodGis", and was a lead cast member on OutTV's "Drag Heals" season 3, Ava is surely an act that must be seen in person to be believed - and celebrated!
