Ava Val explores the triumphs and humiliations of transitioning from a ‘bro’ to a newly ‘out’ trans woman in her thirties.
Coming out to her dad at a sports bar, a ‘traumatizing’ bra-sizing experience and a catcall gone awry are but a few of the vast, vulnerable, and silly experiences Val delivers with the inimitably resonant voice of a future comedy superstar.
Though, she has taped numerous standup performances for CBC Gem, Crave, & CTV, has a new standup comedy special So Brave out June 2024, hosts her own podcast “PodGis”, and was a lead cast member on OutTV’s Drag Heals season 3, Ava Val is surely an act that must be seen in person to be believed – and celebrated!
