## Production

On July 2, 2013 Showtime's YouTube channel posted a video of Tig on the beach in Seal Beach, California asking fans to propose different shows by going to www.tigroadtrip.com and asking her to perform on rooftops, backyards, basements, living rooms, garages or barns. In an interview with Dan Casey at Nerdist, Notaro said, "I’ve been doing this for the past decade, and it was just kind of like this idea that my friend Martha and I had to bypass the – yeah, I guess the grind of the comedy club scene, and just see if we could freshen things up a bit, and make things a little awkward."
