Valerie Branch

Purple Onion
Tommy T's

Valerie Branch started stand up comedy in Portland, Oregon, then moved to San Francisco where her cheeky wit and her bawdy drag character, Pia Messing, have earned her a strong following in the LGBT community. She has opened for Tommy Davidson at Tommy T's Showroom, featured for Justin Martindale at the SF Comedy Cellar and performed regularly at the Purple Onion. Valerie co-produced the Jokers and Queens Comedy and Drag Showcase, and was one of the rotating emcees at what SF Weekly 2012 voted “Best Open Mic”; she currently runs the LOL Open Mic at Club OMG.
