Tig Notaro Tells It to My Heart


Dragged my flu-ridden ass out of bed last night just long enough to see the long-planned screening of "This American Life Live" with a group of friends in Union Square. The show featured two of my favorite writers (David Sedaris and David Rakoff, who gave the most heartbreaking dance "recital" of all time) and one guy I'm dying to learn more about (Ryan Knighton). But the highlight of the evening -- by a HUGE margin -- was comedian Tig Notaro, whose custom-made-for-me story about Taylor Dayne was quite possibly the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life!




This one will get you.

Tig always has me in tears laughing. I first heard her on an episode of the podcast Comedy Bang Bang and now I follow her on Professor Blastoff (a podcast that she hosts). Love her!

Omg, I LOVE Tig! She's one of the funniest people I've ever listened to. I first heard her on an episode of Comedy Bang Bang (podcast) and now I follow her podcast, Professor Blastoff. She's just hilarious.
