This woman is a master. To do 10+ minutes of material on a pretty much forgotten pop star from 25 years ago and be hysterically deadpan... Tig is awesome.
Corny or not, this made me happy. I had seen Tig deliver this monologue previously in a solo standup setting, but couldn't stop smiling when Taylor Dayne showed up to serenade her. Props to both.
What’s unique about Tig is that she isn’t just unafraid of silence, but she even uses it. How many comedians would crumble under the precious seconds of silence that Tig uses to build up her punchlines?
I am watching this at work in an open office, and biting my tongue to keep from laughing out loud. It's not working. It just sounds like I'm snorting and dying or something over here. Brilliant.
