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."[3]

Filming

The documentary was filmed starting in early August 2013. The stops of the tour that were finally included in the film are:

gollark: It wouldn't be that bad with a cut-down Linux distribution.
gollark: Hello, my alt!
gollark: Try all rewinds until it works.
gollark: Why not just make the language automatically do this on *any* error?
gollark: ¿¿¿¿¿
