Last year, Tig starred in Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead, and prior to that was seen in the heartwarming Paramount film, Instant Family. Tig also previously wrote, produced and starred in the semi-autobiographical Amazon series, One Mississippi, for which she also directed an episode. Tig’s most recent and fully animated standup special, Drawn, was nominated for a Hollywood Critics Association Award earlier this year.
