Pick of the Day: The Official Friends Reunion with Tig, Kyle and David 8/11

david huntsberger, kyle dunnigan, tig notaro

The very funny trio of Tig Notaro, Kyle Dunnigan, and David Huntsberger were once known and beloved as the podcast Professor Blastoff. Since then, all three have gone to their own comedy paths including Tig Notaro: Live, @kyledunnigan, and Huntsberger’s own late night show.

Without any real idea of when they can get back to a lot of what they used to do/make their bread and butter on, they’ve opted to have a “friends reunion” of a kind via a live-stream. It has been years since this has happened and it’s a rare present for Professor Blastoff fans or comedy fans in general.

The Official Friends Reunion with Tig, Kyle and David is set for Tues. Aug. 11th at 6PM PT/9PM ET. Tickets are $13.50 (portion of ticket sales will go to COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund) and you can and should get them here.

The hours of Tig Notaro doing stand-up are such a momentous occasion and really ought to behoove you to be in attendance for Tig headlining if you can.

Whether she’s unveiling several tragedies very honestly or teasing the audience with a “possible” appearance of the Indigo Girls for several minutes or dragging a stool across the stage, Tig pushes the envelope, but does so in such a clever way that you wouldn’t notice until you walked out of the theater.

In any case, get your tickets for Tig running her latest hour at Largo this Sun., Feb. 16th at 7PM. Tickets are $30 (plus $7 service fee).

Tig Notaro And Stephanie Allynne To Co-Direct Lauren Pomerantz Feature

Well, Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne have upgraded from being together in an Amazon series to making their debut directing a feature film. It’ll explore the nuances of female friendships/relationships from a script by Lauren Pomerantz adapted from Pomerantz’s own life.

This should be all the sweeter coming from a directing duo that’s also a wonderful couple as well as the mix of Tig and Allynne’s varying shades of wry humor as well as a story from The Ellen DeGeneres Show’s head writer.

So, for 2019, Tig Notaro is turning her monthly Largo show into a talk show with one special guest. It seems like one of the few things that Tig hasn’t conquered in comedy and we’re very intrigued as to what that might be.

Get your tickets for this first show happening w/special guest Olivia Munn on Sat. Jan. 20th at 7:30PM for $35 here.

Tig Notaro Might Have Another Show Over at ABC with Pilot Production Commitment Set for “Thicker Than Water”

Tig Notaro Might Have Another Show Over at ABC with Pilot Production Commitment Set for “Thicker Than Water”

Tig Notaro along with her co-EP on this project Cara DiPaolo are aiming for a dramedy exploring the American experience centered on the center of the U.S.

From the premise of meeting half-siblings for the first time at a funeral, Thicker Than Water almost seems like a natural progression from Tig’s last show One Mississippi.

Right now, it has a commitment for a pilot at ABC, but if it goes to series, maybe it could end up being ABC’s answer to This Is Us (in dramedy form).

Tig Notaro Reveals That She Sold Film “First Ladies” Starring Jennifer Aniston and Her Before Any of the Movie Was Written

conan, first ladies, jennifer aniston, netflix, tig notaro

Basically, First Ladies will be a movie that stars Jennifer Aniston as the first female POTUS with Tig Notaro as her FLOTUS.

That’s pretty much all we need to be on board for this movie that was sold to Netflix and has Will Ferrell attached. Apparently, that’s all that everyone involved needed to hop on board as well.

Here’s Tig explaining what might be one of the easiest and well received movie pitches of all time on Conan.

Tig Notaro’s “Happy To Be Happy Here” Has One of the Best Closers in Recent Memory

comedy special, happy to be here, netflix, stand up, tig notaro

When Tig Notaro does stand-up, you can always count on Tig to playfully deconstruct various stories of her life at the moment in a low key, but thoroughly enjoyable fashion. In fact, she might be the best at doing so as exhibited in her latest hour that just dropped on Netflix, Happy To Be Here.

Tig is also pretty great at pranking the audience/crowd/viewer and keeping a prank going and going and going. From dragging a stool across the stage for a bit to falsely dismounting, she has a knack for innocently hooking the audience into a sense of “is-she-or-isn’t-kidding” and playing it out to maximum effect.

In closing this special, Tig does what will undoubtedly become one of her signature bits in this regard. In fact, as stated in the headline, it’s a legitimate closer in a stand-up special (unlike we’ve seen in quite some time) that might be the best in recent memory.

Go watch Tig Notaro: Happy To Be Here now on Netflix and see what we’re talking about.

Watch Trailer for Tig Notaro’s Latest Hour “Happy To Be Here”

comedy special, happy to be here, netflix, stand up, tig notaro, trailer

Tig Notaro is in rarefied hour in that we’d love to hear her talk about pretty much anything for an hour.

Thusly, we’re excited for later this month (Tuesday, May 22nd) when Happy To Be Here, Tig’s latest hour special, hits Netflix.

Until then, you can get a taste of it with this trailer.

Tig Notaro’s New Special “Happy To Be Here” To Be Released on May 22nd on Netflix

Tig Notaro’s New Special “Happy To Be Here” To Be Released on May 22nd on Netflix

“Just announced – Tig’s new comedy special “Happy To Be Here” will be available May 22nd, exclusively on @NetflixIsAJoke!”

Right about now (or anytime really) is a great time for a new hour special from the one and only Tig Notaro. Thankfully, that time is less than a month away.

Mark your calendars/set a reminder on your phone/etc.

August 28, 2017

amazon, one mississippi, stephanie allynne, tig notaro, trailer

Season two of Tig Notaro’s One Mississippi incredibly endearing as her real life wife (who is great actress/writer/director/comedian herself) Stephanie Allynne shows up as Tig’s love interest and features an drop-the-mic style moment when Tig gets cornered by some “well meaning” homophobic evangelicals.

See for yourself in the season two trailer here.

This might be a wake-up call to those who haven’t caught any of the series thus far.

Episodes start streaming on Amazon Prime on Friday, September 8th.

“7-inches for Planned Parenthood” Will Be a Special Vinyl Record Box Set Featuring Great Comedy and Music in Support of Planned Parenthood

aparna nancherla, box set, janeane garofalo, jenny slate, largo, planned parenthood, sarah silverman, tig notaro, vinyl records, zach galifianakis

Trump has let the states decide whether they want to defund Planned Parenthood or not. So, now, so many people are stepping up to have the back of Planned Parenthood.

So, to support the cause, a special collector’s box set of vinyl records featuring the comedy of Sarah Silverman, Aparna Nancherla, Jenny Slate, Margaret Cho, Tig Notaro, Janeane Garofalo, Pete Holmes, and Zach Galifianakis in addition to music from some of the musicians around like St. Vincent, Sleater-Kinney, Björk, Matt Berninger, Elliott Smith, Sharon Van Etten, Mitski, Feist, and Chvrches will be released soon. All of the comedy comes from Largo’s archives by the way.

Also, we like that the folks behind this project made this note:

Do we know there’s a joke in the name? We do. We hope the title evokes the rich history of 7-inch vinyl records as a medium for protest music and resistance.

Pre-sale date has yet to be announced, but you can get more info here.

For years now, Boston Calling has been a big music shindig for Boston not unlike Outside Lands for SF, Bonnaroo for Tennessee, SXSW for Austin, etc.

Like those festivals, it’s now featuring a dedicated comedy portion of the festival billed as a “A Comedy Experience Hosted by Hannibal Buress”. In fact, look at the flyer and you’ll see it’s a pretty nice weekend all around that they’ve got lined up.

Tickets range from $99 for Single Day GA to $199 for 3 Day GA and $199 for Single Day VIP to $529 for 3 VIP.

San Francisco Is Getting Another Big Comedy Festival This Year with Comedy Central’s Very First “Clusterfest”

At the beginning of the year, San Francisco always has one of the biggest comedy festivals in the world, SF Sketchfest.

Just announced today, SF will be getting another giant comedy festival in the summertime, specifically June 2nd-4th, brought to you by Comedy Central.

The first ever Clusterfest has a gigantic line-up of the sort proportions and depth that Comedy Central can summon. It’s also the flip of most big time music and arts festival in that it’s mostly comedy with a bit of music as opposed to there being a comedy tent and lots and lots and lots of music a la Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, etc. (Note: producers of both those festivals are involved here). See the line-up below or in this glitterbomb filled announcement video here.

Tickets/passes go on sale this Thursday, March 2nd here. They range from $199.50 earlybird pass-$599.50 VIP Pass.

Please Enjoy This Dark Comedy Short from Stephanie Allynne “The Fun Company”

January 24, 2017

fun company, lauren lapkus, mary holland, short film, stephanie allynne, tig notaro

Stephanie Allynne’s particular brand of dark comedy is great because of a certain grounded reality that it operates in. This way, the humor seems even a bit darker, in a good way of course.

You can see for yourself in Stephanie’s latest short, The Fun Company, which you could think of as a sort of slightly more sinister version of Don’t Think Twice from the point of Mike Birbiglia’s character Miles.

David Cross, Amy Schumer, Tig Notaro, Patton Oswalt, Carol Burnett, and Margaret Cho Get Grammy Nominations

December 6, 2016

carol burnett, david cross, grammys, margaret cho, nominations, patton oswalt, tig notaro

*comedy nominees in italics

BEST COMEDY ALBUM
…America…Great… — David Cross
American Myth — Margaret Cho
Boysih Girl Interrupted — Tig Notaro
Live At The Apollo — Amy Schumer
Talking For Clapping — Patton Oswalt

BEST SPOKEN WORD ALBUM (Includes Poetry, Audio Books & Storytelling):
The Girl With The Lower Back Tattoo — Amy Schumer
In Such Good Company: Eleven Years Of Laughter, Mayhem, And Fun In The Sandbox — Carol Burnett
M Train — Patti Smith
Under The Big Black Sun: A Personal History Of L.A.Punk (John Doe With Tom DeSavia)— (Various Artists)
Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink — Elvis Costello

It’s almost expected to see Tig Notaro, Patton Oswalt, and Amy Schumer here in this year’s Grammy nominations for comedy. David Cross getting a nod for his album that specifically stands against Trump and one for Carol Burnett’s audio book are also good, big name choices.

Still, given how wide the field is in the Grammys, we wonder if there would ever be room for, let’s say, Best First Comedy Album or Best Podcast, etc. etc. to allow room for works from critically acclaimed comedians that are just on the brink of breaking out into the national spotlight.

See the full list of Grammy nominees for 2017 here, then see who wins at the ceremony set for February 12th.

Trailer for Tig Notaro’s “One Mississippi” on Amazon Brings the Dry Humor of Her Tragedy to Life

amazon, one mississippi, tig notaro, trailer

If you’re into comedy at all, odds are you’ve probably heard Tig Notaro’s story of tragedies followed by tragedies and living through it by now. At the very least, we hope you’ve heard her landmark comedy album Live (pronounced as the verb).

This particular portion of Tig’s life riddled with heartbreak, disease, and death was the subject of the aforementioned album, a book, a documentary, and now this TV series coming to Amazon, One Mississippi.

The very first trailer for the show has just arrived and you can see how Tig’s singularly dry, unflinchingly honest sense of humor runs through her show.

If you’re hooked or an admirer of anything and everything that Tig does, look for episodes of One Mississippi to start streaming on Amazon Prime on Friday, September 9th.
