It betrays how we truly feel.
Theres no way her special could bethatteed up for hope.
Except thats exactly what it is.
There is an unrelenting riptide of joy that definesHappy to Be Here.
Shes literally happy to be here.
Below are the best of Tigs jokes from the special that will make you happy to watch her.
Its more than that, but I dont wanna seem like Im exaggerating.
It doesnt bother me.
I feel comfortable with who I am.
I know what I am.
you’ve got the option to call me a choo-choo train doesnt matter.
I know who I am.
Now, I cant believe it took me 46 years to come up with this response.
And if this happens to you, kindly feel free to use it.
Give me credit…cause its good.
And I said, Just the gum, maam.
In the hands of a less canny comic, this bit couldve gone down an unnecessarily vulgar path.
Accidental Sex Talk
We are the very proud parents of two tiny baby boys.
It is very exhausting to have a baby.
And we have twins.
So the more you add to the equation, as many of you know, its exhausting.
And Stephanie turned and asked, How do you have sex with a baby?
And I said, You dont.
And that was the beginning of a ten-minute-long misunderstanding.
What do you mean you dont have sex with a baby?
What do you mean what do I mean?
What are you talking about?
Who did I marry?
An Emotionally Complicated Fan Interaction
Im not great with strangers.
I was at the airport and I was on a travelator.
You know what a travelator is?
Im not gonna tell you.
What I will tell you is that I was standing still while moving forward.
And I was like Oh my gosh, that is my favorite interaction Ive ever had with a stranger.
And I couldnt wait to share a glance to acknowledge how funny that was.
So I turned around … [long beat] … And he never looked back again.
Who is that person that felt compelled to be like Yo Tig.
and then just travelate off into the universe?
I think about that man every day of my life.
The aggravation of celebrity is well-trodden territory in comedy.
Party Tricks
Another real joy for me is to look for my dog at a party and …
I dont own a dog.
Then people start asking questions, you know, What does the dog look like?
How can I help?
And Im like, Little tiny black dog, her names Mitzy.
Cmon, lets go Mitzy!
and then I walk out of the party without a dog behind me.
I love looking insane.
Party tricks are always fun for a brief amount of time.
They have the quickest expiration date and are easy to drive into the ground by overuse.
The imaginary dog routine is an all-timer, as it achieves a collective deception.
Well, that was really not much of a reaction.
Look, if you dont want a special surprise we can skip right over this.
All right, sounds like you would like a very special surprise.
Youre in the right place.
Let me check and see.
All right, were all set.
Ladies and gentleman, just welcome to the stage, the Indigo Girls.
I know this doesnt scan as a joke.
