Yeah, she just uses the one name, and no, you’re probably not going to find “Tig” anywhere on her birth certificate. What about it? Geez, why are you so worked up about it? You wanna step outside, pal? She just goes by Tig. End of story. Well, it’s actually not the end of the story. You’re right, that’s not much of a story at all, certainly not one that’s as likely to convey what an entertaining treat it’ll be to see her at Cap City this week as a slightly more fleshed out tale would. So, onward...Heck, just geographically, Tig has covered some interesting ground, born in Jackson, Mississippi, her family later relocated to Houston, she moved on her own to Denver (where she started Tignations Promotions, an entertainment firm that managed and promoted bands), then moved yet again to Los Angeles. Although she was still steeped in the music biz, this last move is where the comedy part of the saga starts to kick in. Upon touching down in L.A., the world of comedy started luring her like a beckoning finger. Perhaps the work and challenges of her company had made her particularly organized and goal-oriented, but whatever the reasons, she gave herself a two-week window to hit a bunch of comedy shows and get steeped in the stand-up world--then she had to get on stage herself. On Day 14, that’s exactly what happened, and she hasn’t looked back, racking up such credits as her own half-hour special on Comedy Central, a recurring role on AMC’s “Movies At Our House,” appearances at a slew of key festivals (including The Chicago Comedy Festival, The Kilkenny Comedy Festival, and The Toyota Comedy Festival in New York two consecutive years), inclusion on Uproar Records’ “Pretty Funny Women” CD. With this kind of back story and these credits and accomplishments, you sure as hell don’t want to miss this Tig Gig, right? Indeed, you wanna step inside, pal? With TBA
