“That Valerie is a great joke writer goes without saying. It’s her ability to take her very modern, evolved worldview and marry it with her no-nonsense, working class voice that makes her so special.”
- Dana Gould (The Simpsons)
Blonde Medicine is pleased to announce the January 21, 2022 release of Beach Trash, the debut comedy album from Valerie Tosi.
Beach Trash is named in honor of the beach town north of Boston where Tosi spent a portion of her childhood. Tosi is a self-proclaimed “white sheep in a family of black sheep”, the child of stoner parents who excel at storytelling, she carries on this family tradition with masterfully spun stories of being in her 30s, making it through Covid, being bad at bisexuality, family, dating, and travel along with tales of growing up in delightfully “sinful” and salty environs.
Described as “type A-reasonable”, Tosi is used to being in control so when the pandemic hit she wondered whether she would ever get to do comedy again, and if so would she still be good? In the face of these fears, she says:
“I decided I was going to do everything in my power to turn years of work into something tangible. I did late night (Conan) right before the pandemic hit, so whatever heat I was about to get was gone so fast. This album feels like a win just in the fact that I pushed through the insecurities and uncertainty to make it happen.”
...the fact that she did sure feels like a win for us!
