If Margaret Cho and George Lopez had a love child, it would be Sandra Valls!
-Georgia Ragsdale, comic

Sandra Valls is a brash, high energy, outrageously funny, in-your-face Latina comic… and then some! Her comedy career began just after an ex-lover broke up with her then signed her up for comedy classes as a consolation prize. (That’s no joke!) An expert at “making lemonade”, Sandra quickly learned to use the stage to motivate, provoke, entertain, and…oh yes…above all, make audiences LAUGH THEIR @#$% OFF!

Sandra performs over the country and at local comedy clubs in Los Angeles including the world-famous Laugh Factory, The Comedy Store, and The Hollywood Improv and yes even at London's Comedy Camp where they're still gasping for air ( and no, it's not because the Brits smoke 10 packs of cigarettes a day) .

Sandra ignites the stage with her powerful and electric performance in Showtime's The Latin Divas of Comedy (available on dvd December '07). She is a featured comic on I Love Shanghai Surprise , an anniversary dvd release of the movie Shanghai Surprise.   Her television credits include Outlaugh Festival and One Night Stand Up (Logo), Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen (ABC), First Amendment Comedy (Starz Network) , ComicView (BET), Que Locos (Galavision), Loco Comedy Jam (Mun2),   Latino Laugh Festival, Funny is Funny, Inside Joke (Sitv) , and Habla (HBO).   More recently, she was just seen with Eva Longoria at the HBO Comedy Festival in Las Vegas.                                                                

Sandra's honest, explosive comic flair, original writing talents, and her bi-lingual proficiency, have opened the door to such gigs as joining the comedy writing team of Nickelodeon's smash hit, Taina, writer, producer, and on-air personality on Off The Roof , an international show on Mun2 Television, as well as producing and writing for SiTV networks on shows including Flow and Tell (pop culture/video interactive show),   The Drop ( a music video show ), The Rub ( a talk show on sex...imagine that), Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner ( a talk show on controversial hot topics. Yes, she believes in gay marriage ) and is currently in production on Luv, Carmen (a digital media show with Carmen Palumbo) .   GLAAD has honored her work at Mun2 with a Special Recognition Award for her groundbreaking achievements on behalf of the gay and lesbian community. She also hosted the GLAAD Media Awards in Florida.

But the story begins much earlier in a little town called Scottsbluff, Nebraska when Sandra was born into a Mexican family ( what's a Mexican doing in a red state?) who quickly moved to Mexico where Sandra spent her formative years. At age 6, they subsequently, made the "big move" to America ( for the record, there was no swimming involved ) and then settled in Laredo, Texas ( yes, the very one made famous by that annoying song.) Sandra attended catholic school but experienced a very difficult first day of school as she didn't speak one word of English ( que? ) and the nuns would charge 5 cents for every Spanish word spoken. ( dios mio ! ) Needless to say, she never had lunch money throughout the first grade. As the years passed by, the only way Sandra coped with catholic school was acting a fool, playing in a garage band, and the assurance that, every now and then, a strong gust of wind would come along and blow the girls' blue plaid skirts up to the heavens. ( Thank god for uniforms .)

Sandra attended the University of Texas at Austin where she studied acting and starred in numerous musical productions including Sweeney Todd, Cabaret, and Merrily We Roll Along, for which she won an Austin Circle of Theatres Best Actress Award. She then ventured forth to New York City ( What? An unmarried, childless, Mexican, catholic girl off to NYC by herself?) to study Musical Theater and then found herself in Boston fronting an eight piece R&B horn band. Yes, this girl can sing!   I mean, really sing! R&B, rock, blues, you name it! Just ask her when you see her. She'll break into song for you! This girl can SAAAHNG! It was in Boston where she began doing some serious comedy after that breakup mentioned earlier. It wasn't until after yet another breakup that Sandra moved...ran...well...escaped... clear across the country to Los Angeles to start anew and conquer the world!!
