She has also performed on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Last Call with Carson Daly, ABC’s Comics Unleashed, and Comedy Central’s Premium Blend. “Tig is so funny. She is so comfortable on stage and takes her time like a master. She has the timing of Bob Newhart and the body of a tiny lumberjack. It’s so fun to watch her. She’s funny without even saying a word. She just has that thing and it’s hilarious.”

New York City
After becoming a favorite at clubs in his hometown of Austin, Tray hit the road and made a name for himself, touring the Midwest. He’s been lucky enough to perform with some of the best comedians of the last decade, including Ron White, Mitch Hedberg, Greg Geraldo, and Tom Rhodes to name a few. With his brutal honesty and a pothead’s quick wit, trust us potheads can be pretty quick with the wit, Trey was dubbed the “Anti Hero of Comedy” by the Austin Chronicle. From family to drugs to an unnatural love of peanut butter, Trey tackles the not-so-tough subjects and hip-checks a few into the boards that shoulda been left alone.
