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.
