How many comics are so great that William Shakespeare himself weighed in with a positive review as he did before Tanyalee Davis had even been born? “Though she be but little, yet she is fierce” pretty much sums up the Canadian-born, Vegas-adopted comic.
She has performed around the world, has her name on the world famous Comedy Store on Sunset Boulevard with some of the greatest comedians ever, and has presented several TEDx Talks.
In 2011, Tanyalee Davis performed her ONE WOMAN SHOW, 4 nights a week for 6 months just off the Las Vegas strip.
As well as her solo career, Tanyalee is part of Abnormally Funny People, an ensemble show, which frequently tours throughout the UK.
Her extraordinary documentary Unstoppable Me (directed by Joe Bor) is currently available to stream on Amazon Prime and Apple TV. It's also the title of her new tour, starting in Middlebrough on March 3.
Add to that horse riding, parasailing and scuba diving and it is patently clear that there is nothing that Tanyalee cannot do if she puts her mind to it!
Now the official Guiness World Record Holder for being the World's Smallest Comic (3'6”) is celebrating getting worldwide big laughs for 35 years by bringing her debut tour to the UK and Ireland.
Tanya Lee Unstoppable Me is a life affirming breath of fresh air to help us all beat the victim mentality that seems to be taking over the world at the moment.
And breaths of fresh air have never come funnier than this.
There is not much in comedy that is truly unique, but your funny bones will never have had an experience like this. Guaranteed.
Tanyalee looks back at the events from her childhood that inspired her ‘I’ll prove you wrong’ attitude to life. We all need to stop focussing on what we can’t do so we can focus on what we can do.
Over the last few years Tanyalee has become increasingly amazed that all that anyone seems able to focus on are her challenges and struggles. Why would they do that when she has done so many amazing things in her life?
