This is hands down the BEST comedy special I've seen in awhile! Great performances!

[@tangcw145]

why the fireman came with the ambulance? instead of paramedic😅

[@kiddozoo]

Probably both came.

[@donjones4719]

In my city a firetruck is dispatched at the same time as an ambulance for very serious calls. It's likely the firetruck will arrive before the ambulance - they're rarely busy and a lot are spotted around the city. Ambulances are fewer and the closest may easily be on another assignment. The ambulance usually arrives 5 minutes or less later than the firetruck.

She was so great in Army of the Dead and she wasn’t even trying to be funny.

This could be a class in DEAD PAN HUMOUR. If you dont know what that is---look it up. It just happens to be a small lesbian that is good at it at this moment, but we have had many good Dead Pan comedians throughout history, and non were small lesbians. Im sure she could find a joke in that somewhere. Funny gal.

[@theplayeralsoknownasmousecop]

I've never heard of it. And it must be because this kind of comedy is not funny

[@adm7t155]

Aha! Why are z2u advertisements everywhere? yea,

[@aaronwatson9928]

So many breeders here that don't like the show yet go out of their way to watch it and give their opinions anyway. And they say WE "need an audience" and WE "force our opinions on others" lmao, the hypocricy... Not everything was made for YOU buddy. If you want something made for straight people, try mayo on white bread or tap water or somethin plain and boring...

[@weslyfrantz4242]

Wow that was painful to watch, cringe, not funny

[@jenyates3033]

Saw Tig last night in Brighton, her first show ever with an intermission, classic Matt and an indeterminable number of opera singers! Such an amazing show. If you get the chance. Just book and go and see her live. You will not regret it.

[@stevejones8550]

Not bad. Honestly after watching hanna gatsbys weird unfunny gender agenda comedy fest i was expecting something similar from tig. Wrong assumption on my part. Tig made me laugh, and she seems to be a reasonable human being (unlike everyone involved with hannas bullshit). So apologies for immediately lumping you in with those lunatics based on looks. So apologies

It’s ok, once you get past the initial shock of being supported by a hunk, it wears off the moment they give credit to their Buddy for something you taught them.

This special was the first time I heard of Tig Notaro and in the 5-10 minutes of her doing her little thing I just felt like we were friends. She has that energy about her like I really would just wanna hang out and have some tea or something and talk about which of my homemade shapeless biscuits looks most like a fireman I feel like that would be a great time 😂

[@jungersrules]

I'm a straight Asian woman who recently discovered BLs. Growing up in the states, I was strictly attracted to white men. I never found Asian men attractive (kind of ugly, to be honest). And, I never thought twice about white gay men, their sex lives, their relationships, etc. I'm a supporter, of course. OK ... now, I'm OBSESSED and attracted to Asian men, and only interested in Asian gay men relationships (wink, wink, if you know what I mean). I still don't understand why I'm so hot and bothered by BLs, either. I don't get it still after 2 months. I personally don't want to be in a relationship, and still not interested in white gay men stories. But, something about Asian gay men does something to me ... physically ... LMAO!

[@colleenhathaway8415]

TAL has the whole joke. It's so great.

[@jamietuggnut3312]

@@Zargabaath Ha-ha! I'm not insecure at all, I just know that some people like Tig and Hannah Gadsby are an acquired taste and are not really that funny to average "normies." Being "gay" is a big part of their acts and people who like that stuff, think it's funny. I don't. I prefer people who tell "jokes" and not boring stories. If Tig and Hannah were straight, I doubt anyone would've ever heard of them...To each, their own, I guess.
