Tanya-Lee Davis
At 3-feet, 6-inches tall, Tanya lee Davis is the Ferrari of comedy - Classy, Top quality low to the ground and kind of racy. Fresh out of LA this Lady is used to shaking things up, starting with her use of the word midget.
"Los Angeles can be very conservative, very politically correct, and some people would take offence at me calling myself a midget. They say 'Hey, come on, you shouldn't use that word. It makes them uncomfortable. I say you deal with it!!" Tanya Lee Davis puts a positive spin on the term. "Personally, I've come to terms with that word ... I took it and made it mine, now just try and take it off me."
On stage Davis tells it like it is with a lot of attitude, sharing her perception of people and how they perceive her as a launchpad for her fantastic comedic mind. She paints a vivid picture of life from the ground up and cleverly uses her comedy to create her own world so sharply that you come away feeling like you have witnessed a whirlwind. It's fresh, frenetic, energetic comedy delivered at lightening pace.
"It leaves you feeling breathless and wanting more" Time Out.
Aptly described as "a master of physical punctuation" by The Las Vegas Sun, Davis headlines at comedy clubs throughout the United States. Her stand-up act takes the audience on a raucous romp through topics ranging from society's insistence on being politically correct to her real-life marriage to a 6-foot-tall man. But it's okay because he's NUTS over her.
In 1999, she placed second in the Seattle Comedy Competition, where she was the first woman in 10 years to make it into the finals.
