Valarie Apperson is a half alien or half robot humanoid from El Paso, TX. She grew up preaching as a Jehovah's Witness until the evil hand of science got her all worked up to switch from a music career - which included songs on Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations, MLB, Maxim.com, the CFDA Awards and more - to an interdisciplinary biotech program in Houston in 2013. To support herself and some dude she was too fond of, Valarie created mass amounts of viral galleries for MyLikes Inc., a social media advertising platform started by founders of Google Adwords. The freedom to work remotely led her to think it was a good idea to pawn all her instruments and move to South Dakota with yet another asshole. To endure the endless boredom of being mostly alone in a small, boring town with no instruments, she took up standup comedy and has since won 3 roast battles (the first being against the host who harrassed her after her first open mic...suck it Greg!), performed for over 3 years in DC and Baltimore, and produced the Risk Takers Comedy Show - an outdoor pop-up show in DC, and HaHa Black Sheep - a virtual open mic centered on topics of religion and revolution. She currently lives in New York City while advancing her career as a copywriter for Top 10 global corporations and world leading cyberTech companies. She's passionate about changing all of her targeted ads to men's suits. And she has an idea for starting her own Amazon. You can catch her slaying "best bad idea" at the CISO Series game show, getting kicked off LinkedIn every year for being herself, and performing comedy in New York and the surrounding areas.
