About PodGis with Al Val

Ava Val, a Canadian stand up comic, rants about today's topics, spins hilarious yarns, explores and shares her reflections of gender during her transition, and covers a wide variety of topics, all while injecting a little therapeutic optimism in there. A podcast full of impressions, characters, ridiculous premises, non-sequitors, and wild, silly thoughts... but above all, it's a podcast full of heart.

   E148 - Ava the Nihilist

   Welcome back, Ava! Ava discusses her new space and what she's been up to since the last episode, her two favourite statuettes, the trains outside her window, the absolutely laughable idea that she might be a nihilist according to the government, image-obsessed centrists, her very fascinating microphone holding technique, and teaching stand up comedy.

   E147 - From Mongolia to Irkusk

   In this episode, Ava has a bone to pick with spreaders of misinformation (even the fun gay ones!), soft versus hard shell tacos, a Taco Bell employees use of her phone, cruelty as a principle and real-life villains, and the blatant coverup of the Epstein case and the impunity of US government corruption. She also touches on her plans to perform in the US.
