Your headliner Ava Val is a John Candy Award-winning 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 including Just For Laughs, JFL Toronto and Vancouver, Off-JFL/Zoofest, and the Winnipeg, Halifax, and Arctic Comedy Festivals, among others. Ava’s talents also earned her a writing role on the 30th season of This Hour Has 22 Minutes, a spot on season 4 of Roast Battle Canada, and a unanimous round of “yeses” from the judges of Canada’s Got Talent, season 3. Notably, she is the first trans person to achieve several of the above credits.
In addition to her numerous taped standup performances for CBC Gem, CraveTV, CTV, and CBC Radio’s Laugh Out Loud, she also has a new standup comedy special “So Brave” currently on YouTube, hosts her own podcast “PodGis”, and was a lead cast member in season 3 of OutTV’s Drag Heals. Ava is surely an act that must be seen in person to be believed – and celebrated!
