ABOUT VALERIE

Valerie Tosi is a Second City trained actor, writer, voiceover artist, and standup comedian. In 2019 she made her late-night debut on Conan, and has appeared in a viral commercial for Lyft with Kevin Hart and Ice Cube, was featured on 'The Joel McHale Show' on Netflix, 'Based On A True Story' on Peacock, and was a guest star on 'Stan Against Evil' on IFC. You may recognize Valerie's voice from her work on scripted podcasts, animation projects, and several ad campaigns, including Google Home Mini. As a standup, she tours the US regularly and has featured and headlined several festivals such as Limestone, Laughing Skull, and West End. Between road dates, Valerie produces and hosts The Mermaid Comedy Hour, the longest-running all-female comedy show at The Hollywood Improv. She regularly features for Emmy Award- winning comedian Dana Gould and has previously featured for Paul Reiser, Heather McDonald, Gina Brillon, Orny Adams, Brent Terhune, and more. Her debut comedy album "Beach Trash" reached #1 on the iTunes charts and was featured in The Boston Globe. When she's not slinging jokes, you can find her at her pinball league (yes, that's a real thing!) pumping quarters into the Jurassic Park table.

ALBUM

What began as a clapback to a festival that claimed there "weren't enough female comics" has become a cornerstone of the LA comedy scene. In our first year alone, Mermaid Comedy Hour booked 75 different women without repeating a single act, and the momentum never stopped. The show has since become a launchpad for up-and-coming comics, and a go-to hang for audiences (and even fellow comedians!) who crave bold voices, sharp jokes, and the best vibes in town.

From pop-up shows in Atlanta, Portland, and Phoenix, to special fundraiser nights supporting causes like reproductive rights, wildfire relief, and immigration rights, Mermaid Comedy Hour has proven that comedy can be both hilarious and impactful. And at a time when free speech and creative expression face mounting challenges, the show's mission is more vital than ever: creating space, building community, and making history, all while delivering the laughs.
