Tig Notaro: Hello Again

Long day on the planet and was in need of a laugh. Showered, grabbed a beer and snuggled in with my pup. Fired up the Amazon Fire Cube (Gen. 1) ***not sponsored, but open to offers*** and the 1st thing I see is a brand new TIG NOTARO special??!?!!? The comedy gods were INDEED smiling upon me.

Tig=

Cancer survivor.

Wife.

Mother (or whatever) of two.

Voice of an angel.

Can play the piano.

Very sharp, brilliantly deadpan and patiently delivered. Her new set is like a roast in a crock pot, pleasing to the senses as it cooks & filled with mouthwatering anticipation for the next morsel.

And her name is Tig.

I loved Trig's Commander Jett Reno character in Star Trek: Discovery, so my expectations were high when I watched this.

I sat patiently, waiting for her to be funny and had to conclude that the laughter of the audience was due to the expectation that all things 'non-binary' must be appreciated and applauded.

Trig bears no relationship to Jett Reno, that could be because others have written the material so it was easy to build a context in which Trig's deadpan approach to life could be appreciated.

Standing on that stage, relaying one medical incident after another was painful to watch and I was waiting for something to be funny - nothing was.

I really wanted it to be funny; I was waiting for it to become funny; I love deadpan humour - it never did.

I felt the audience only found it funny because they didn't want to be cancelled in this world where diversity is so much more important than meritocracy.

Trig used every diversity hook in the book, but nothing gelled; nothing was really funny.

I can't wait to see Trig as Reno in the next series of Discovery but I won't be indulging in any more stand up.

I am so disappointed that there is only one episode available.

Tig's dry delivery and timing has me ROFLMAO (does anyone still use that besides me?)

I hope she comes to perform in Toronto and that I can get tickets. I'm guessing that the best way to experience Tig is to watch her live.

The way that she invites you into her life experiences and is able to laugh at herself is so endearing and relatable.

Prime, please release more episodes as quickly as Tig can create them!

She's amazing while remaining family friendly! A feat that very few even attempt to accomplish these days!

I will be eagerly awaiting more of this series!

There are only a few stand-up comedy shows a year that get my attention... Tig's unique brand of humour is a breath of fresh air amongst an endless stream of crass, loud, vulgur, reach for the low-hanging fruit type of comedians. I love the slow pace and build up to her humorous storytelling, which leaves me smiling and chuckling the whole way through. Honestly, she is so talented and has clearly honed her skills in the art of stand-up comedy. I wish there were more people like her that were brave enough to authentically relate the humour in their life's journey. No need to resort to vulgarity, shock value or a constant need to offend other people. Just simple and honest sharing, with an original twist on observational humour. I absolutely loved this comedy special and highly recommend it! Thanks for the laughs and smiles, Tig! :)

Really enjoyed this hour. I didn't know her, and didn't recognize she was in the Morning Show

me: Tig Notaro was really fun in her comedy special Hello again. Loved her storytelling about her sons and being a parent. Her observational humor and finding funny in normal life really was delightful. Can you help me write a good review - 400 words
