Tig Notaro: Happy to Be Here

Never understood the hype around her. Had to watch the whole special with laugh tracks.

5/24/18. First off, you have to like deadpan humor. If you don't, then forget this. Tig will drive you nuts, especially that Indigo Girls tease, that goes on and on. If you have the patience, then you have fun with this one.

I found this special when it came out, about six years ago now. I was dealing with some pretty bad depression at the time and it was one of the few things that helped me laugh. I watched it over and over again, and somehow it stayed funny to me despite my growing familiarity to it-except for the ending. That's stayed weird. I'm writing this now because I just watched it again after a hard day and it still makes me crack up. I love her dry humor and delivery. After all this time, it's a comfort show, I hope Netflix never takes it down. It's probably not for everybody, but I love it. Tig, you have made me a loyal fan!

If you torture yurself by watching this, take note that they never show the audiece face on becuase no doubt, they are not laughing. I didn't laugh ONCE. The fake laugh tracks were so obvious and poorly done. You could hear them being cut off abruptly. I literally am falbbergasted that people find her funny. It was BORING.

It's been a while since I've seen a stand up comedian that does this good a routine without being a d-bag. I laughed a lot, and it was a cute, fun routine, - very wholesome fun - not kicking up or down, just good quality fun. I look forward to her next routine!
