Tig Notaro Postpones December National Tour

Acclaimed US comedian Tig Notaro has had to postpone her previously announced tour of the country this December due to "unforeseen personal circumstances".

Having undergone emergency surgery last week, Notaro has had to delay her sojourn Down Under on advice from her doctors.

"I'm very slowly on the mend from an emergency surgery performed last week," Notaro explained in a statement. "Unfortunately, my doctor says I won't be completely healed for another three to five weeks.

"Australia has become one of my favourite places to tour, and I am so looking forward to rescheduling when I'm feeling better. I appreciate everyone's understanding and patience.

Notaro is currently working to reschedule her shows in 2015, while existing ticket-holders in Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney have the option to either hang on to their passes until the new dates are announced, or be granted a full refund, via their original point of purchase, between December 6 and 13.
