PodGis with Ava 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.

    E138 - To Be Happy, or To Be Free

    Ava discusses her recent visit to the Royal Ontario Museum, being called a 'person', the recent healthcare CEO shooter, the Great American Exceptionalism Bubble, the happiness index and the freedom index, dogs as compassion slaves and the philosophical question: "to be happy, or to be free?"

    E137 - Official Egg Sponsor

    Welcome back to the podcast that is Wii for me and WiiU for you! In this episode, Ava talks about a really funny sponsor she noticed at a local soccer match, a retelling of Phineas Gage (sorry if I've done it before!), her favourite Arnold Schwartzenegger line, her squeamishness limits, her dad's cold hands, and eventually she ends on a rant about the current state of American politics and the depressing trend of anti-intellectualism.

    E136 - She Gets the Job Done!

    Ava, with DEEPEST apologies for the long absence from posting, begins the pod with a quick statement on her newfound Chappell Roan fandom, followed by a lengthy explanation including reflections on her recent experience at the San Francisco Comedy Competition, her neck agony, her upcoming facial feminization surgery (FFS) and the external justifications involved, a strong plug for her upcoming paid content, discusses looking back on ex partners, and signs off with a little hope for the future. Vote Harris!

    E133 - Provolone Wolf

    In this episode, Ava updates listeners about her standup special post-analysis, then goes on to talk about the US work visa process, her verse on the hit single "Y'all Ain't Never Met a Cheese Like Me", other trans comedians encroaching vaguely on her own material, how Kobe Bryant stole her thunder on a death pact, when something 'ruins your childhood', and a silly rant about the video game "Marvel: Midnight Suns". See ya soon! Also make sure you check Ava's special SO BRAVE!

    E132 - Wet Thigh, Dry Thigh

    In this wondrous return to form, Ava repeatedly gets her thighs wet and dry as she discusses the dumbest story in the bible, flooding in Toronto, evil rich buttheads, the "I swear on my ___" phrase, a story of a man who came out of the closet after he'd died, and a story about one soul occupying two lumpy bodies. Stay tuned for "Hannah Barbara Headlines"!

    E131 - Mavis Beacon teaches Typing

    We've got a FIERY episode for you today! Ava comes out red hot and reminisces about Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing, going to the dentist to freeze her face, the summer heat, a story about accidentally going commando, paying honest compliments, being the 'supporting character' in a viral video, getting the best most validating comment for a trans woman from a cis lady, and then ending on a super positive note about spreading kindness and giving compliments to strangers.
