ABOUT THE ARTIST
Included on Business Insider’s list of “50
Women Who Are Changing the World” and
Rolling Stone’s list of “50 Funniest People Now,”
Tig Notaro was nominated for a Grammy Award
in 2014 for her sophomore release LIVE. The
album sold over 100,000 units in just six
weeks, which is unheard of today. Louis CK is
quoted as saying that it is one of the best
stand-up performances he ever saw. During
the release of LIVE, she was reviewed and
profiled by The New York Times, The New
Yorker, Entertainment Weekly, Vanity Fair, GQ
Magazine and Time Magazine amongst many
others.
Notaro is set to star in her first HBO comedy
special. Along with this, she is the subject and
executive producer of a documentary about her
life, entitled Tig, which has been selected to
premiere at The Sundance Film Festival in 2015.
Most recently, Showtime aired Knock Knock, It’s
Tig Notaro, where she performs in the actual
homes, barns and rooftops of selected fans
across the country. The memoir she is writing
for Ecco Publishing, also expected out in June
2016. Notaro is next slated to appear in the
feature Catch Hell opposite Ryan Phillippe
along with an arc on Jill Soloway’s series
Transparent for Amazon. Notaro is coming off
appearances in the feature Walk of Shame,
opposite Elizabeth Banks, the Lake Bell feature
In a World, along with guest starring roles on
ABC’s Suburgatory and IFC’s Maron and
Garfunkel and Oates.
Notaro remains a favorite on both Conan and
This American Life and continues to host her
own weekly podcast, Professor Blastoff, which
ranks consistently at the top of the iTunes
charts. In previous years she has guest starred
on shows such as NBC’s The Office and
Community, FOX’s Bob’s Burgers, HBO’s The
Life and Times of Tim, wrote for The 2011
Emmy’s with Jane Lynch and 2010 MTV Movie
Awards with Aziz Ansari, and curates her own

in Washington, DC. This is Notaro’s first
engagement at the Hopkins Center.
