The New York Times reviewed Portland Queer Comedy Festival as, "My most enjoyable experience [about Portland]" and, " The performances were more than punchy enough to stand up on their own — no controlled substances necessary" [Cheap Charms and Altered States of Portland, Ore -Travel 9-8-17] and now… Portland Queer Comedy Festival presents: incomparable Sandra V​​alls!

From Showtime, Nickelodeon, BET to ABC; Sandra has made her mark on the comedy landscape.

Curve says, "Sandra takes comedy to a new level."

L.A Times writes, "Talented...Hilarious"

Sandra Valls is a comic, actor, singer, writer, and badass. She is a funny, high energy, smart, sexy, outspoken Latina, best known for her powerful, electric, stand up comedy performances in Showtime’s, THE LATIN DIVAS OF COMEDY (nominated for an Alma Award) and PRIDE: LGBT COMEDY SLAM!, hosted by Bruce Vilanch (both available for viewing now on Hulu.com). Her unique mix of physical comedy and ridiculously brilliant storytelling make it easy to see why the Los Angeles Times calls Sandra “Talented and Hilarious” as well as being voted one of the Top 33 Bad Ass Comics with Latin Roots by Latina Magazine, one of the Top 10 Funniest Lesbian Comics by Curve Magazine, one of the Top 100 Women We Love by Go Magazine, as well as one of the Top 10 faces to watch in 2010 by Diva Magazine.
