This year is quickly becoming a banner year for Tig Notaro as the documentary following her now legendary set, “Tig”, was just released this past weekend on Netflix and her Showtime special with Jon Dore, “Knock Knock, It’s Tig Notaro” premiered earlier this year.
On top of all of that, she has her HBO comedy special “Boyish Girl Interrupted” premiering on Aug. 22nd at 10PM.
Get your first look at it with this teaser.
Whether you’re meeting her family or you’re meeting Tig Notaro, odds are that you’re going to have an unforgettable experience.
Certainly, Tig fiancé had what will be an unforgettable first meet and greet of Tig’s family as Notaro recounted in a story on The Tonight Show.
Right after that, Tig went to the couch and told a story to Jimmy Fallon, that apparently Jimmy Fallon forgot, of how they first met. This experience is something that Jimmy will probably remember this time around.
All in all, it’s classic, unforgettable Tig.
It’s a good day to have a Netflix password.
There’s literally hours of new stuff to watch on Netflix.
You can binge in watching every episode of season 2 of Netflix’s great animated series BoJack Horseman or the documentary Tig following Tig Notaro.
You could also binge watch both. Either way, you’re losing precious time to probably continue sitting and plug into Netflix for most of the day.
As said by Ed Helms in this trailer, Tig Notaro’s set at Largo, which turned into the album Live, is historic. Also, Tig and so many things that she has done are also historic.
The documentary “Tig” follows that journey, which you get a look at in this trailer.
Look for the full documentary on Netflix on July 17th.

You’ve probably watched more stand-up and documentaries than you’ve probably ever before thanks to Netflix and now you’ll get a timely mix of the two.
The documentary that has followed Tig Notaro through all her trials and tribulations and coming out of it still as one of the funniest people around, “Tig” is coming to Netflix on July 17th.
So, after this, Tig will be one step closer to hosting the Oscars, right?

Yes, that’s the documentary following Tig Notaro for the last couple of a years.
Tig had a landmark album after suffering an incredibly tumultuous few months. After that, she has kept up a stream of amazing crowds wherever she goes like she did when she went topless at a live show last year.
The documentary Tig follows that time after “Live” and if you have a chance to go to Outfest here in LA in July, you should definitely try to catch the opening night presentation of the film.
Wilco curates a music and arts festival in North Adams, Massachusetts known as Solid Sound and they’ve included a very nice handful of comedy along with it.
On the weekend of Jun. 26th, renowned band Wilco will put on their annual festival Solid Sound at Mass Moca. Tig Notaro, Paul F. Tompkins, John Hodgman, Superego, and Jessica Williams will comprise their offerings on the comedy stage, which should make for a lovely weekend of indie music and comedy outside of a contemporary art museum.

Though it might not be your home, Tig Notaro and Jon Dore went to homes across America and performed in possibly the most intimate way you could do a comedy show for this Showtime special.
Tonight at 9PM, “Knock Knock, It’s Tig Notaro” is premiering on Showtime. Like so many of her performances, we’re sure that all of these are unforgettable and will have the added silliness of going to where people live to do live comedy.
Again, don’t miss out the premiere at 9PM on Showtime.
It’s a trend now that big music and arts festival have a solid comedy line-up and we’re definitely on board for that.

After watching this interview, you might think, “Tig and Jon should have their own show”. Luckily, that’s Knock, Knock, It’s Tig Notaro coming to Showtime next week on Apr. 17th.
Anytime Jon Dore is in the studio at Conan, hijinks are the order of the day and he has a good time retelling the Goldilocks story in the middle of their interview with Tig Notaro and Conan O’Brien offering color commentary.
They also got to talking about their new show where they do stand-up at people’s houses “Knock, Knock, It’s Tig Notaro”, which sounds like it will be great both in concept and from what you can see from their chemistry on Conan.
America will be introduced to the magic that is the house comedy show as well as getting to see another set of magic that is Tig Notaro and her comedy.
Showtime got Tig Notaro to do a tour of comedy shows in people’s various homes throughout the country and captured the experience in a documentary special called “Knock Knock, It’s Tig Notaro”.
In addition to the amazing prospect that is Tig performing for an intimate crowd at someone’s house, the brilliant Jon Dore seems to be tagging along as well.
We’ll be able to see what shenanigans Tig and Dore get into throughout this special.
It’s going to be another big music and performing arts festival week in San Diego for KAABOO from Fri. Sept. 18th-Sept. 20th and part of that big weekend will have a very solid comedy line-up.

Online streaming definitely seems to be the future of TV. Netflix gets bigger everyday and more broadcast and cable networks seem to be migrating their content online. HBO Now is set to launch next month and Showtime will be following suit with their own standalone service soon. We hope they include access to their comedy specials and series with that.
“The Green Room with Paul Provenza”, “Episodes”, “Inside Comedy”, “Knock, Knock It’s Tig Notaro”, “The Big C”, “It’s Garry Shandling’s Show” and comedy specials from Dana Gould, Larry Wilmore, and more are some of things we could potentially have to look forward to with a Showtime streaming service.
Sounds kind of nice, right?
“Might as well hire me now before the Latin Grammy’s catch wind of my availability and scoop me up.”
Tig has written an open letter to The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences that she should be considered to host the 2016 Oscars awards ceremony. She gives plenty of great reasons like the one above as well as being able to promote the telecast through her podcast.
If this seriously happens, we’d bet it would be one of the most unforgettable Oscars ever and might bring back those 7 million folks who went missing from this year’s Oscars telecast ratings.
You can read Tig’s letter in full here and then please share it #HashTigOscars
Showtime is really, quite literally picking up its comedy line-up. They already re-upped Inside Comedy with David Steinberg for a fourth season.
Now, they also have Tig Notaro’s traveling live comedy show docu-series and the dramedy that was set to star Philip Seymour Hoffman on deck for this year.
In April, Knock Knock, It’s Tig Notaro will premiere on the 17th (via TV Guide) and Happyish, which just got a series pick-up now starring Steve Coogan will premiere on the 26th (via Deadline).
So, it would appear that we should all be on the look out for Showtime in 2015.

Announced today, HBO’s next hour stand up special will be coming from Tig Notaro. Her amazing, lightning-in-a-bottle album Live, it would seem, might just be a preview of this special since she’ll be covering the passing of her mother and her bout with breast cancer.
It is set to tape later this year and we’re hoping that it’ll span the whole range of Tig’s comedic prowess from pushing a stool to the stories she shares at NPR and on The Moth.

The second round of The Wild West Comedy Festival is coming back to Nashville, TN from Apr. 14th-19th.
So far, they have the likes of Lewis Black, Joel McHale, Hannibal Buress, Eric Andre, Tig Notaro, Doug Benson, and more headlining the festival.
So, while you’re waiting until Bonnaroo in June to watch comedy in a giant tent, you definitely have the Wild West Comedy Festival, which is shaping up quite nicely, to look forward to if you in or around Tennessee.

The sequel to Henry Phillips’ Punching The Clown has moved forward very quietly. We heard that it was going into production and then, just over two weeks ago, Phillips himself tweeted that it was “in the can”.
Punching the Clown 2 is now in the can. Look out for it next year! pic.twitter.com/joR73mq8xI
— Henry Phillips (@Henlips) November 25, 2014
So, not only do we have to look forward towards a release, perhaps, sometime next year, but, the cast for Still Punching The Clown is pretty damn great. J.K. Simmons, who you probably saw get sociopathic in Whiplash, Sarah Silverman, Jim Jefferies, Tig Notaro, Doug Stanhope, Mike Judge, Drunk History’s Derek Waters, Nikki Glaser, and more are all being featured in the film.
Hopefully, the news of a release date and the actual release date itself will come soon.
We all were spellbound by her performance that became an album in Live, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that many that were in attendance are writing up her show this morning during the New York Comedy Festival that’s happening right now.
We don’t want to ruin the moment of reading exactly what happened as recounted by The New Yorker’s Andrew Marantz, but we’ll say that Tig took baring it all to a whole other transformative, level, per usual.
Taking advantage of the endless wealth of comedy genius that resides in and around NYC as well as bringing plenty of the funniest people in the land, The NY Comedy Festival for 2014 isn’t something you should miss.

It’s her Boyish Girl Interrupted Tour and it will feature a brand new hour from Tig that you shouldn’t miss.
Remember when we told you about the very first Maui Comedy Festival that’s happening Halloween weekend with a line-up featuring any and all of your favorites from Reggie Watts to Kyle Kinane to Eddie Pepitone to Tig Notaro to Marc Maron to Hannibal Buress to so many more to even more?
Well, whether you do or don’t, the tickets for what should be one damn fine comedy festival are now on sale and you should snag that and some hotel reservations (unless you already luckily live on the island) ASAP.
Since the likely dismantling of XBox Entertainment Studios was announced, JASH has rebranded their variety show that was originally on that development slate to be called Rubberhead and feature anyone from Seth Rogen to Jerrod Carmichael to Tig Notaro to Rob Schrab to Harris Wittels to Shelby Fero to Todd Glass and have one of JASH’s cornerstones, Sarah Silverman. There’s a full list in the flyer above.
With some luck, we’ll get to see Rubberhead somewhere soon.
It shouldn’t be surprising that The New York Comedy Festival along with Comedy Central brings out the big guns when it comes to putting their line-up. This Nov., Bill Cosby, Maria Bamford, Nick Offerman, Hannibal Buress, Marc Maron, Amy Schumer, Bill Maher, Tig Notaro, and more all are headlining the festival.
Running from Nov. 5th-Nov. 9th, tickets are now on sale.
Really, if you’re in or around NYC, you should get tickets for this, The Brooklyn Comedy Festival, and The Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival so you can make your comedy plans for the rest of the year.
For all the times you’ve joked what other post-mortem discussion panel show he could possibly host, Chris Hardwick is beating you to the next pun you were about to make by joking about Talking Dead, etc. himself.
So, here he is hosting Talking Bread on Conan with guests Tig Notaro and Andy Daly. We would sincerely hope this goes long enough to hear if people give pumpernickel the love it deserves.
