Lily Tomlin tickets are now available to be bought or sold online at Stubhub.com. For decades, Lily Tomlin has brought her unique brand of humor to television. Her charm and absurd humor has entertained plenty of fans during her stand-up shows, as well. With a fresh tour ongoing, you can bet plenty of fans will be rushing out to buy Lily Tomlin tickets. But one aspect of this incredibly gifted humorist’s career that has made her distinctive is her work in film. Whether collaborating with famed director Robert Altman or making a cameo appearance in other films, she’s produced some amazing acting in the past that has stood the test of time. This series examines a select group of her films. Some of them are well-known roles. Others are small, and may have been overlooked, but are worth taking a peek at. Though she’s better known for her collaboration with auteur director Robert Altman, Lily Tomlin found herself working with Woody Allen for 1992’s Shadows and Fog. Well, a caveat is needed here. Everyone is in Shadows and Fog. Boasting one of the largest budgets for any Allen film ever, it also included some of the most recognizable faces in acting all in one place. Allen is known for attracting actors to him like a magnet, and you’ll see most of Hollywood drifting through his filmography. Unfortunately, most of those actors and actresses have very brief parts, as does Tomlin. The film itself is a brilliant allegory about death and the value of storytelling, how it lends meaning to life, and, in a way, escapes it for a little while. Allen is the star, of course, wandering through a Kafkaesque labyrinth of a city enshrouded in fog. A killer—symbolizing death, of course—is wandering the streets, leaving innocents horribly strangled. There’s plenty of comedy to balance things out, of course, and Tomlin plays one of several prostitutes in a house of ill repute. Truthfully, her appearance is brief and her character doesn’t have a lot of nuance. But the repartee of several bawdy women talking about men, sex and love is entertaining, all the same, and is an notably enjoyable part of the movie.
