John Valby - Biography
John Valby (born November 22, 1944) is a musician and comedian who plays in barrooms and college campuses up and down the East Coast. Using an old-fashioned piano, he creates comedic, obscene parodies of classic songs. Known as "Dr. Dirty", he typically performs in a classic white tailcoat and black derby hat. His songs and shows focus mainly on sex and racial slurs, with a mix of current and historic people and events.
Valby joined various rock bands in his early career that "kept on breaking up", which drove him to become a solo piano act of mostly rock and roll and honky tonk tunes. At one show in May 1974, he added some dirty songs of his own into the set. The positive response to the dirty songs led Valby to focus on the more adult material. He would often write new material while transporting between gigs. Valby claimed that he was named "Dr. Dirty" by the National Entertainment Conference, a booking organisation for the college circuit. He stated that he disliked the name because it "takes away from the element of surprise". He credited some of his obscene act as a reaction to the Catholic repression that he faced during childhood.
In addition to his blue comedy act, Valby has recorded and produced pop and rock albums for himself and other artists, including Buffalo Sabres defenseman Jim Schoenfeld, with whom Valby recorded two albums, Schony (1972) and The Key is Love (1974). He also had a small role as a piano player in a Tijuana brothel in the 1983 film Losin' It which featured an early performance by Tom Cruise.
Valby is married to his wife Ann; together they have six children. As of August 2012, he lived in a house in Clarence, New York; the house burned down due to suspected arson that month. As of 2016, he still lived in Clarence.
