Tig (affectionately named by her brother as a child) was born in Jackson, Mississippi and raised by her single mother. While serving time in a Texas high school, Tig failed three grades by entertaining classmates rather than entertaining the notion of a successful academic career. After dropping out of school, and a brief stint in the music industry while in Denver, she decided to lodge herself firmly into the always fun and always easy world of comedy.

Most recently, Tig booked a supporting role in the feature THE RUNAWAYS opposite Kristen Stewart, which is set to shoot in the summer 2009. This will be her third season recurring as “Officer Tig” on THE SARAH SILVERMAN PROGRAM on Comedy Central and was a series regular on ABC’S IN THE MOTHERHOOD opposite Megan Mullally and Cheryl Hines. In previous years, she has had her own half-hour comedy special, COMEDY CENTRAL PRESENTS TIG and recurred on Comedy Central’s critically acclaimed show DOG BITES MAN. She has also performed on ABC’S JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE, NBC’s LAST CALL WITH CARSON DALY and will be performing on SHOWTIME’s new comedy series LIVE NUDE COMEDY airing on Showtime this summer.

Tig performs regularly at the Hollywood Improv, The UCB Theater and at Largo in her monthly show, “Tig Notaro and Friends”…and of course, headlining clubs, colleges, theaters and living rooms across the universe.
