Growing up in the south, the granddaughter of a Mema, it’s not an understatement to say that hot sauce runs in my veins. So much of my fridge space, culinary budget, and taste buds have been devoted to hot sauce of all kinds my whole life. I still remember the poster in my tutor’s office as a kid that had dozens of bottles labeled by Scoville units. I made it a mission to find those sauces in stores and beg my mom to buy them. What a weird annoying grocery store kid I was 😂

Later in life shows like introduced the world to chicken based journalism and the brilliant nuance of what hot sauce can really be. My collection has only grown.

When the incredible folks at agreed to come on as tour sponsor, they took the comedy spirit of “yes, and” to another level and offered to make a limited edition run of sauce bottles — WITH MY NAME ON IT 😱🤯

This spice loving, pepper eating southern gal has hot sauce bottles — you can get them from me in person at shows on the road headlining with OR support me online with a new perk that includes your choice of TWO bottles!

Julia, Nate, Liam, and the entire team have welcomed me with open arms and more enthusiasm than I could fathom. When I say this collaboration is just getting started: please believe me. I’m so incredibly grateful. Can’t wait to see y’all back out on tour very soon.

I made a mistake. I spent years making myself smaller when I should have celebrated the bigness of my brain, imagination, and sense of humor. I listened to the conversation with today and was challenged to admit something publicly that I failed at in a big way.

I thought I had to think small to have it all. Every time I’ve peaked, I’ve plateaued. I’ve gotten complacent and stopped pushing and moved on to the next challenge. Don’t get me wrong: I’m no quitter, but I’ve definitely let up on the gas time and time again just as I was breaking through into a new level of success. The past few weeks have felt like a crossroads: continue with corporate work full time, or step into something else entirely.

I’m 36, a single momma to two beautiful kiddos, and after 15+ years of a creative career that’s spanned genres and formats, for the past two years I’ve been working towards being able to say the following statement: Hi 👋🏻 I’m Virginia Anzengruber, and I’m a working stand-up comedian, filmmaker, writer, and motivational speaker.

I’m currently on my very first ever comedy tour, and have partnered with the amazing folks at to make the and digital special the absolute best it can be. I’m headlining my first 30 minutes next month in New Orleans for and I’d love to have you follow me on this journey. Have a show I should come do? I travel!

Need a professional funny person? Hire me! Jokes are my job.

Wrapping up an amazing week in LA ahead of the starting in earnest this month. Family, friends, comedy, wrestling, good food, and a Universal Studios back lot tour really got my head right. Back into it as soon as I get home later this week with press and shows and I’m just so glad and grateful to have had the opportunity to come be with my amazing sister and spend time with the rest of my wonderful family.

If you’ve ever felt like a joke I told made ya laugh, consider sharing about the tour, or supporting it in some way. I’ve got cool stickers and you can pre-order a digital download of my upcoming “Maternity Leave” special at the link in my bio! The fine folks at have been hosting a phenomenal campaign for me.
