Tig Notaro - Stand up Comedy
Mathilde "Tig" O'Callaghan Notaro (born March 24, 1971) is an American stand-up comic, writer, radio contributor, and actress. She is known for her deadpan comedy. Her acclaimed album Live was nominated in 2014 for the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards. The special Tig Notaro: Boyish Girl Interrupted was nominated in 2016 at the 68th Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special. In 2017, the album Boyish Girl Interrupted was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards.<br /><br />On her approach to comedy (and whether she considers herself a dark comic): "I'm always going to do whatever I think is funniest. If something's dark, I'll do it. If it's a sock puppet, if it's a stool, I'll do it. There's no preconceived idea of who I think I might be now." Notaro said that since her cancer diagnosis, she has shifted not to darker comedy but rather to personal comedy. Previously she was more distant and observational, but now she reflects on her childhood and her life.<br /><br />In the autumn of 2016, she appeared in video as an onstage "stand-in" during the Nostalgic for the Present concert tour of Australian singer Sia for the song "Diamonds."<br /><br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/08/fun-facts-star.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/08/fun-facts-canada.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/08/fun-facts-baseball.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/08/fun-facts-drum.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/08/fun-facts-lebron-james.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/08/fun-facts-martin-luther-king.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/08/fun-facts-india.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/08/fun-facts-bread.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/08/fun-facts-philippines.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/08/fun-facts-sudoku.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/08/fun-facts-galaxy.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/08/fun-facts-ants.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/08/fun-facts-waltz.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/08/fun-facts-lion.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/08/fun-facts-fencing.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/08/fun-facts-rice.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/08/fun-facts-vodka.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/08/fun-facts-china.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/08/fun-facts-nose.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/08/fun-facts-taoism.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/09/fun-facts-pacemaker.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/09/fun-facts-printing-press.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/09/fun-facts-shampoo.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/09/facts-earthquake.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/09/fun-facts-toilet.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/09/fun-facts-amazon.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/09/fun-facts-karate.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/09/fun-facts-wushu.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/2013/09/fun-facts-tequila.html<br />http://www.factbuddies.com/201....3/09/facts-hurricane
