The Sound of Young America: Live at Bumbershoot with Greg Behrendt and Tig Notaro

Episode notes

Last month we were live at the Bumbershoot Music & Arts Festival in Seattle. Our shows included two standup performances, from two of our favorite standup comics – Tig Notaro and Greg Behrendt (above).

Tig Notaro can be seen as Officer Tig on Comedy Central’s The Sarah Silverman Program, and of course touring the nation as a standup comic. She performed standup for us in Seattle.

Greg Behrendt is a veteran standup, who found unexpected success a few years ago with the relationship book “He’s Just Not That Into You.” The success of the book, and popularity of his appearances on Oprah Winfrey’s show netted him a daytime talk show. Greg performed, then we talked with him about fitting his persona into the odd format of daytime talk.
