Off the felt, you’ll find him at Broadway shows, binging podcasts, or chasing laughs as a veteran performer of the NY indie improv scene—still making it up as he goes! Valerie Danisi, also known as V, is an independent Artist and Bartender/ server with a passion for 8-ball. Born in New Jersey and living in Brooklyn New York, V is new to pool, only playing serious for 1 year. She travels from bar to bar on 5 Ave learning and perfecting her pool knowledge.
