Described by fans as "Garfunkel and Oats meets Hank Green" and "Queer Weird Al,” Valerie takes their day-job as a scientist very seriously, except when they're doing science comedy, which is most of the time. Her biggest comedy achievement is performing at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2018, but her mom was not impressed because you can just pay to be there. She's the founder and producer of "Geeky Comedy Seattle,” making stages nerdier all around the city.
