October 27, 2025Virginia was great, not only was it a very funny act, but also she was very flexible and willing to find a time and day that worked for us. She was professional, she showed up early so insure she was set up on time, and even stayed a few minutes after to engage with the crowd which they really loved. She gracefully walked the line during the more "shocking" jokes while not getting to raunchy or offensive. We are an Assisted living facility and it can be tricky to find good adult humor and I think Virginia nailed it. If you have a community or event where people can take a joke( especially men) then I think you should consider VJ.

March 14, 2025I follow Virginia’s Tik Tok account @badinia and the podcast that cohosts with her sister, “My Sister’s A Therapist” on Spotify. I loved her content and point of view on both platforms, so when I was putting together a list of musicians and comedians for my husband’s birthday party, she was the obvious choice to emcee and perform.
She showed up early, brought her own equipment, and was very approachable and friendly to our guests. You can tell that she is a seasoned professional, her comic timing was exceptional, and she had us all roaring through her set! I would definitely hire her again and have recommended her to many friends.

I'm a standup, I can host your event, red carpet, or roast, I have experience in all of the above- I can work clean, but my default is smart, sassy comedy about the absurdity of being alive.
Virginia Jones is a smart, funny person. She can be seen on Portlandia, CNN’s History of Comedy, and on an Australian tap dance infomercial. Virginia has 20K followers on TikTok, which she believes to be the most, because math has never been her strength.
Virginia Jones has opened for some of her heroes like Maria Bamford, Myq Kaplan, Zach Galifianakis, Bobcat Goldthwait, Kevin McDonald, and Jackie Kashian.
Virginia Jones has performed comedy in prominent festivals like the San Francisco Sketchfest, Altercation Comedy in Austin, Bridgetown, All Jane, WICF, Chico and Santa Cruz festivals, and has placed as a semi-finalist in the San Francisco International Comedy Competition.
I need a microphone and amp and a mic stand, and a light.
I can bring all and a small amp if needed, if you have a sound system that's even better :)
