Virtanen on vuosia ulkomailla asunut näyttelijä, joka punapigmentin voimalla,
pitkät raajat heiluen nauraa arkisille omituisuuksille —ja ennenkaikkea itselleen.
Vuoden tulokas 2011 -finalistiksi valittu Virtanen on pitkän tauon jälkeen palannut
stand up -lavoille. Ulla on myös improvisaation ammattilainen, joka improvisoi
taitavasti niin suomeksi kuin englanniksikin.
