The Bentzen Ball, an annual comedy festival curated by Tig Notaro and presented by Brightest Young Things since 2009, was an unequivocal smash hit this past weekend in Washington, D.C. From the moment it began on Thursday with an all-star lineup sitting on the sofa with Dr. Katz (Jim Gaffigan, Janeane Garofalo and Morgan Murphy joined Notaro for sessions with Jonathan Katz), all the way to a surprisingly emotional and hysterically funny closing night session of “Tig and Friends” on Sunday, fans from inside and outside the Beltway were clapping, cheering and delivering standing ovations.
