Tig Notaro seems content to tell stories and fuck with the crowd. She's got survivor's confidence, and the crowd's complete faith. Delivery and physical comedy were spot-on, joke selection and long anecdotes not as high payoff. Would have liked a little more discipline, but it was a treat to see her anyhow.
Mike Birbiglia seemed rejuvenated with a lot of new material and more enthusiasm and charisma than last time we saw him, where I think he was (and Scott sure was!) sick of his own stories. Met him again, had more pleasantly awkward conversation. You would have a good time too.

Also saw Aziz awhile back, fun but probably not worth the $50-something for a theater show.
Dude you've got to come back to Los Angeles for a weekend, we could do nothing but catch great comedy shows.
You have no idea how jealous I am of you. The biggest downside to podcasts is at the end where the comedians all just rattle off where they'll be: surprise, it is always LA. Plus all the reliable and affordable UCB, iO West, Groundlings, and Largo. It is the Mecca and I will definitely take you up on that.
