None Tig Notaro at Lakeshore Theater
Low-key comedian Tig Notaro at times comes across like the unlikely spawn of Bob Newhart and Ellen DeGeneres to reflect upon her bizarre childhood, marrying the deadpan delivery of the former with the gently baffled observational humor of the latter. Her career has taken off as of late with help from some famous friends: Pal Sarah Silverman wrote an entire episode of her self-titled sitcom around Tig’s lesbian cop character, and Silverman’s ex-boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel has featured her on his show, leading to her own half-hour special for Comedy Central.
