Watch for my appearance on Little People, Big World and an ITV show on Little People both coming out in the fall 2008. Stay tuned!!
At 3’6", Tanyalee is the Ferrari of comedy - low to the ground and kind of racy. Today she has brought comedy to a new heights headlining throughout the world.
Tanyalee was the winner of the 2003 Norman G. Brooks Standup Comedy Scholarship Competition held at the Melrose Improv. The event was judged my many Hollywood celebrities.
In the summer of 2005, Tanyalee was part of Abnormally Funny People, an ensemble show performing at the worlds largest festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. The show was sponsored and filmed by SkyTV in which a documentary was also made. Back in April 2001 Tanyalee headlined her own show at the prestigious Melbourne Comedy Festival obtaining great reviews.
In Nov. 99 Tanyalee placed 2nd in the Seattle Comedy Competition. She was the first woman in 10 years to make it into the finals.
Tanyalee was spotlighted on the premiere episode of Last Comic Standing 2, and is most recognized for her multiple appearances on the Maury Show where they focused on her uprising career.
Working on Austin Powers 3: Goldmember movie teaser was a highlight of Tanyalees career, along with featuring in a movie called, For the Love of Money. Tanyalee was seen on MTVs BASH and the Dave Attels Insomniac show: Live at the House of Blues.
Tanyalee’s perception of people, and how they perceive her, exaggerates the humor of life’s "little" tasks and routines. One theme in Tanyalees act is about being sexy. The sexy comes from within, which means everyone can be sexy and Tanyalee proves it.
Tanyalee has made a small yet significant dent in the entertainment scene thus far, headlining throughout the US, Canada and the UK. What she lacks in height she makes up in tenacity. Known as "the little lady with a lot of BIG laughs,"

About me: Hi all, my name is Tanyalee Davis and I started doing standup comedy in 1990 up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I took a few years off while I re-located to Calgary and then Vancouver, BC. I LOVE Vancouver and my heart will always be there but if I wanted to get to the bigtimes I needed to relocated to LA. I moved to LA in 1997 with my best friend Pam.
In 1998 I married Marty and inherited two great stepkids (who are now adults), David and Becky. They are awesome!
Marty and I currently live in Las Vegas and we love it. People are friendlier and the air is cleaner than LA. I am touring quite a bit with my standup. I work over in the UK oftain which is a challenge but very exciting.
Wanted to stop by and say hello! Hope you are doing okay, and that you are recovering! You are in my thoughts and prayers! Please keep in touch, stranger! Love and Laughter -skyler
Tanya Lee, Thanx for the add! I adore your work and hope that you're in Vegas when I get out there again in August. I'd love to see your show and meet you :)
