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?
@davidadams23954 ай бұрын
She said recently that there was a time when it was a twenty-minute bit, and she had to get through it with no laughter. The bit needed to be honed. Nevertheless, Tig is willing to commit until it works.

“I’m not even convinced that’s she’s not here tonight.” Just wait five minutes Tig. Haha.

"I left out other times I ran into Taylor Dayne" I spit out my water and almost ruined my laptop. She is so hilarious.

"Like I'm not even convince she's not here tonight!" - Tig And Taylor Dayne was there lol... love the frick'n set up... great story and love the song "love will lead you back" .... breaks my heart
@kristinesmart244 жыл бұрын
"I'll Always Love You" is actually the song; but of course, I understand what you mean. The song you mention, "Love Will Lead You Back" is actually my favorite.❤️
@DaSkarekrow4 жыл бұрын
@@kristinesmart24 I remember as a kid, there was Samantha Fox and Taylor Dayne, and when I heard Taylor "tell it to my heart" I thought she was just another pop gimmick but "love will lead you back" in black and white video, I was dead wrong, that song will be timeless, definitely a favorite too!
@lightspeedbubble73592 жыл бұрын
This was rehearsed. 14:16 Tig lip-syncs with Taylor saying "show'em what you got Tig". But I guess it would be delicate to decide whether to actually surprise a comedian by inviting the person they just made a sketch about.

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.

This is brilliant story-telling! Her timing is impeccable, yes? I mean, it's all clearly off-beat, but deceptively so. She always comes in right on time to fill the anticipation with a perfect delivery. I love when she follows her friend Kyle into the restaurant across the street, and after she realizes that he's spied Taylor Dayne, Tig reassures him with "Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course she's here." She perfectly manages a straight-forward delivery that oozes with irony, right?

This reminded me of when I met my idol and told her, "I know you hear this all the time, but I think you're great!" She glared at me & said, "Yeah, I do hear that all the time," I was taken aback. My mouth fell open, & I didn't know what to say to that, so I just walked away, a little off-balanced. Yet seeing Taylor Dayne come around & be such a good sport nullified any conflation with that incident. In fact, I think she's great! And Tig is hilarious!
