When comedy-great Louis C.K. tweets that someone’s stand up set is one of the best he’s ever witnessed, you’d better believe that comedian has the chops to make you chuckle. Tig Notaro is such a comedian. You may have heard her personal reflections on the NPR radio series “This American Life” or seen her Showtime documentary Tig and you’ve no doubt thought to yourself, this little lady is pretty hilarious, Taylor Dayne-talented, and overwhelmingly strong. Despite dropping out of high school and overcoming a slew of health issues, Tig Notaro still sees the sunny side, with just a hint of darkness thrown in for laughs. Witness the magic of this survivor comedian at Irvine Improv and join the Tig Nation.
