Ava Val: Comedy Legends Under the Neon Palms

If you're looking for a comedy show that feels like a rock concert, look no further. Canadian comedy rockstar Ava Val is taking over the legendary El Mocambo for two special Pride Month shows on June 19th. Known for her untethered, high-energy stage presence and a plucky, unapologetic outlook on life as a trans woman, Val has quickly cemented her reputation as one of the most exciting rising voices in the Canadian stand-up scene.

What to Expect These aren't your typical quiet club sets. The El Mocambo’s storied history makes it the perfect backdrop for Val’s dynamo performance style. She’ll be joined by a dynamic roster of special guests, including Ben Sosa Wright, Sashka DC, and Kari Johnson. The night promises a mix of sharp observational humour, rock-and-roll energy, and plenty of queer joy.

The Afterparty The fun doesn't stop when the mic drops. Following the late show, the venue will host an afterparty, making this a one-stop destination for your Friday night Pride plans. Whether you're a long-time fan of Val or just looking for a high-octane night of comedy in one of Toronto's most iconic venues, this is a must-attend event. Be sure to grab your tickets early, as these shows are expected to draw a crowd.
