No it is serious she really has stalked and harrassed several well known comics. If you run a show I would suggest you be on the look out for her, she is already banned from several places.

I'm running a show at cat and fiddle next month. I'd be interested to know who this person is and who she's stalking and harrassing. You kind of scared me about this person who stalks comics. I think it only right you tell us more detail.

Thanks, lisad. I know for a fact that she's stalked a certain notable female comic (whose name I'd rather not mention) showing up at said comedian's shows and harassing her a little bit. Apparently, it doesn't go further than that. Occasionally, she gets a little hostile and inappropriate towards other females at Garage Comedy. Overall, she's harmless. And I doubt she'll show up at your show, Martha. But if she does, keep an eye on her.

Your very welcome, scott. I'll introduce myself to you next time. I'm hot. LOL.You should say the comics name so we all could look out for her. Stalking is not harmless so I'm confused now. If she's banned from several places then she must be very dangerous. I've just moved here and I'm not up on what's goin on so please tell me more so I can be careful. I feel left out

lol.

Guys, this woman is pretty weak and harmless at the core- someone with horrible self-esteem who's completely unable to read social cues. If she bugs one of you, be straight up and tell her you're not interested, and to please leave you alone. If she persists, tell her go 'f' herself. If she yells at you, turn around and walk away. You won't hear from her again.

Shunning is a powerful tool. Trust me- it was done to me in high school.

Re: Shenk Flo tonight Adam's Birthday! 9pm All Star Lanes (not that far)

Wow. I finally got around to watching the video and I know her. I've seen her do lots of open mikes and quite a few booked shows in L.A . She was at abbots habit doing an open mic last monday and she was awesome-- the best of the night.

She was known as a comic's comic in Austin. She was completely original,charming, and hilarious. She ran a show in austin and I was visiting a buddy, and saw it. She's one of the best comedians I've seen actually. A few friends of mine had huge crushes on her when she was in New York.

She's really brilliant and attractive and I'm really offended by this. I think scott got rejected by her or something and is getting revenge. Shame on you, scott. Disgusting.

I have to say that scottbox seems to have a personal problem with this woman and is pretending that she is some stalker for his own purposes. Zgal says he's seen her perform and she's good and scottbox says that she's a dangerous stalker who never went on stage, and then that she's harmless. Very fishy. I'm kind of grossed out by such slander and libel of someone he is pretending isn't a woman who rejected him. I hope this is not how comedy works in L.A. The way scottbox is talking about shunning is creeeeeeeeeeeeepy. I think he should be shunned for such a sick mentality.

Weird woman...

Hi Erin,

I don't know her name, but watch the video and you'll get a good look at her. She used to go to Tig's shows and bother her. As I said, she's pretty harmless. She's not going to pull a knife out on you. I think she just gets crushes on female comedians and then bugs them. In the event she bugs you, feel free to tell her to go fuck herself. That usually works with weak people like that.

Actually I have researched this issue extensively, now that I know we are talking about the DVPA and not the other types of restraining orders.

It is difficult to reopen the case after an appeal unless you can prove extrinsic fraud, not just intrinsic fraud such as perjury.

However, I believe the orders against you are VOID and you can make a motion to VACATE those orders as follows:

1.The orders are void because the definition of "abuse" in the DVPA, Cal Family Code § 6203(d) is facially unconstitutional as overly broad under the First Amendment to the US Constitution. I argued that exact motion in Humboldt County yesterday, and the Court took it under submission.

CCP 473(d) allows you to move to vacate a void order at any time.

Here is some of what was argued:

1.The Domestic Violence Prevention Act ("DVPA") is facially unconstitutional as overly broad and vague under Article 1, Section 2(a) of the California Constitution and the First Amendment of the United States Constitution as made applicable to California by the Fourteenth Amendment.

2.The DVPA is facially unconstitutional as overly broad and vague under Article 1, Section 7 of the California Constitution and the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

3.The trial court had no jurisdiction to enter any orders against respondent under the DVPA.

///

As presently in force, the DVPA defines "abuse" to include perfectly legal expressive conduct including mailing innocent letters and making innocent telephone calls. The DVPA now punishes pure speech and is so broadly drawn it prohibits "not only unprotected speech, but also protected speech." Ketchens v. Reiner (1987) 239 Cal.Rptr. 549, 194 Cal.App.3d 470, 475. The DVPA also makes conduct which was innocent and lawful when performed grounds for a permanent restraining order whereby people can lose possession of their property and end up homeless. ////

There is no doubt that the DVPA specifically targets speech. The official California Courts Domestic Violence Restraining Order Self Help Center at

http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp/protection/dv/canhelp.htm#whatisabuse states: "Abuse can be spoken, written, or physical." As authoritatively interpreted on that official government website, the DVPA allows issuance of restraining orders based exclusively on activities that are protected by the First Amendment. People have the right to send letters and make telephone calls under both the First Amendment to the United States Constitution as well as under Article 1, Section 2 of the California Constitution.

According to the 501(c)(4) organization known as Respecting Accuracy in Domestic Abuse Reporting, California is one of only seven states with domestic violence laws that present an extremely high risk of civil rights violations. See http://www.mediaradar.org/docs/RADARreport-Ranking-of-States-DV-Laws.pdf at page 3 of that URL.

It does not matter how wonderful the purposes of the DVPA may be. It does not matter that abusive conduct could be regulated by a statute drawn with narrow specificity. Gooding v. Wilson (1972) 405 U.S. 518, 520; Lewis v. City Of New Orleans (1974) 415 U.S. 130, 133. The DVPA is facially overbroad. City of Houston v. Hill (1987) 482 U.S. 451, at 458 et seq., 96 L.Ed.2d 398, 410; Ketchens v. Reiner (1987) 239 Cal.Rptr. 549, 194 Cal.App.3d 470, 474-477.

THE DVPA IS VOID FOR VAGUENESS

'The dissent of Justice Douglas in Karlan v. City of Cincinnati (1974) 416 U.S. 924 states: "The 'void for vagueness' doctrine is, of course, a due process concept implementing principles of fair warning and non-discriminatory enforcement." Justice Douglas observed that a vague statute may also be overbroad, and stated: "A statute is also overbroad, however, if, even though it is clear and precise, it prohibits constitutionally protected conduct." Karlan v. City of Cincinnati, supra, 416 U.S., at 925. The DVPA is both vague and overbroad.

The DVPA gives the trial court the same unfettered discretion given to the police prior to Kolender v. Lawson (1983) 461 U.S. 352, 361, 75 L.Ed.2d 903. No standard of proof is defined by the DVPA, although it mentions "reasonable proof". At the trial in this action, petitioner's attorneys argued the court should apply that completely undefined standard as the quantum of proof in this action. Respondent argued that under Evidence Code § 502 the quantum of proof could only be either proof by a preponderance of the evidence, or proof by clear and convincing evidence.

During his closing argument respondent argued that due process and equal protection concerns required application of the clear and convincing standard.He pointed out that the draconian measures which can be ordered under the DVPA far exceed the consequences of an order entered under the civil harassment law, Code of Civil Procedure § 527.6. Perhaps for that reason the court in this action announced it would apply the clear and convincing standard but nothing in the DVPA requires that and at least one court has stated in dicta that the clear and convincing standard does not apply to injunctions sought under the DVPA. Nakamura v. Parker (2007) 156 Cal.App.4th 327.

"A statute not sufficiently certain is repugnant to the due process clause." Orloff v. Los Angeles Turf Club (1951) 36 Cal.2d 734, 739. At that same page, the Orloff opinion declared: "The requirement that a law be definite and its meaning ascertainable by those whose rights and duties are affected applies not only to penal statutes but to all laws governing fundamental rights and duties."

The DVPA is vague and it "impermissibly delegates basic policy matters to [] judges [] for resolution on an ad hoc and subjective basis, with the attendant dangers of arbitrary and discriminatory application." Ketchens v. Reiner (1987) 239 Cal.Rptr. 549, 194 Cal.App.3d 470, 477. As stated there, "laws must provide explicit standards for those who apply them." This applies especially where "the literal wording of the statute" prohibits lawful speech. City of Houston v. Hill (1987) 482 U.S. 451, 457, 96 L.Ed.2d 398, 409.

The absence of "ascertainable standards of guilt" makes the DVPA void for vagueness. Papachristou v. City of Jacksonville (1972) 405 U.S. 156, at 165, 31 L.Ed.2d 110. See Comment, The Void for Vagueness Rule in California (1953) 41 Ca.L. 523.

///

THE DVPA IS VOID FOR VAGUENESS

"It would be a singular and a very extraordinary provision that [] the manner in which this quasi-judge should execute his duty should not be prescribed…" Scott v. Negro Ben (1810) 10 U.S. 3, 7, 3 L.Ed. 135. This is the earliest example of the U.S. Supreme Court applying what is now called the void for vagueness doctrine. Myriad cases have held that "laws must provide explicit standards for those who apply them." Wright v. New Jersey (1985) 469 U.S. 1146, 1148. See Ketchens v. Reiner (1987) 194 Cal.App.3d 470, 477; Kolender v. Lawson (1983) 461 U.S. 352, 358, 75 L.Ed.2d 903; Papachristou v. City of Jacksonville (1972) 405 U.S. 156, at 165; Grayned v. City of Rockford (1972) 408 U.S. 104, 108 and cases there cited in fn. 4; Katz v. Superior Court (1977) 73 Cal.App.3d 952, 969. See People v. Heitzman (1994) 9 Cal.4th 189, 199.

The undefined "reasonable proof" standard in Family Code § 6300 suffers from the same infirmity as the statute at issue in Smith v. Goguen (1974) 415 U.S. 566 which punished anyone who "publicly… treats contemptuously the flag of the United States." 415 U.S. 566, at 568-569. The Smith court held that that "provision is vague 'not in the sense that it requires a person to conform his conduct to an imprecise but comprehensible normative standard, but rather in the sense that no standard of conduct is specified at all.' Coates v. City of Cincinnati, 402 U. S. 611, 614 (1971). Such a provision simply has no core. This absence of any ascertainable standard for inclusion and exclusion is precisely what offends the Due Process Clause. The deficiency is particularly objectionable in view of the unfettered latitude thereby accorded law enforcement officials and triers of fact." Smith v. Goguen (1974) 415 U.S. 566, at 578. See Connally v. General Construction Co. (1926) 269 U.S. 385, 392-395.

Absence of standards to guide the decision maker renders a statute unconstitutionally vague. Giaccio v. Pennsylvania (1966) 382 U.S. 399, 402-403; Kolender v. Lawson, supra; City of Houston v. Hill (1987) 482 U.S. 451. We as a society do not delegate unrestricted power to decision makers. Kent v. Dulles (1958) 357 U.S. 116, 129-130; Chicago v Morales (1999) 527 U.S. 41, 60-64; In re Oliver (1948) 333 U.S. 527; Gatto v. County of Sonoma (2002) 98 Cal.App.4th 744, 775-776; Saia v. New York (1947) 334 U.S. 558, 560-562; J.L. Thomas, Inc. v. County of Los Angeles (1991) 232 Cal.App.3d 916, 925; Long Beach Lesbian and Gay Pride, Inc. v. City of Long Beach (1993) 14 Cal.App.4th 312.

The word "unreasonable" has been held to be unconstitutionally vague. Cline v. Frink Dairy Co. (1927) 274 U.S. 445, 453-454, citing U.S. v. L. Cohen Grocery Co. (1921) 255 U.S. 81. City of Lakewood v. Plain Dealer Publishing Co. (1988) 486 U.S. 750, 772 held the phrase "necessary and reasonable" facially unconstitutional as allowing unfettered discretion to the mayor to grant or deny a permit for a newspaper dispenser.

The DVPA violates respondent's rights to due process of law because the undefined "reasonable proof" standard delegates unrestricted and effectively unreviewable power to the trial court to determine if domestic violence has occurred under a statute that has no standard of decision. To make matters worse, the DVPA does this in a way that defines "abuse" to include activity protected by freedom of speech and expression. Family Code § 6203, § 6320.

As stated in Logan v. Zimmerman Brush Co. (1982) 455 U.S.422, 432, "Each of our due process cases has recognized, either explicitly or implicitly, that, because 'minimum [procedural] requirements [are] a matter of federal law, they are not diminished by the fact that the State may have specified its own procedures that it may deem adequate for determining the preconditions to adverse official action.' (Citations.)"

///

FIRST AMENDMENT STANDING

"Under the First Amendment overbreadth doctrine, an individual whose own speech or conduct may be prohibited is permitted to challenge a statute on its face". Airport Commissioners v. Jews for Jesus (1987) 482 U.S. 569, 574-577.

"At least when statutes regulate or proscribe speech ... the transcendent value to all society of constitutionally protected expression is deemed to justify allowing 'attacks on overly broad statutes with no requirement that the person making the attack demonstrate that his own conduct could not be regulated by a statute drawn with the requisite narrow specificity.'"Los Angeles Police Dept. v. United Reporting Publishing Corp. (1999) 528 U.S. 32, 38. See In re Berry (1968) 68 Cal.2d 137, 152 n. 11.

The DVPA defines "abuse" to include protected speech. Family Code § 6203(d). The DVPA allows ex parte TROs that restrain speech. Family Code § 6320(a). "Any system of prior restraints of expression comes to this Court bearing a heavy presumption against its constitutional validity." New York Times Co. v. United States (1971) 403 U.S. 713, 714.

"A law directed at the communicative nature of conduct must, like a law directed at speech itself, be justified by the substantial showing of need that the First Amendment requires." Texas v. Johnson (1989) 491 U.S. 397, 406.

Petitioner argues that the DVPA is not overbroad and asserts that because the restraining orders granted to petitioner are content neutral the proper First Amendment analysis should be under the less stringent standard applied in United States v. O'Brien (1968) 391 U.S. 367, a case in which respondent expressed his opinions by publicly burning his draft card. The law forbidding destruction of that card did not specifically target speech and was held to have only an incidental impact on free speech and expression. In such circumstances the Supreme Court held the law justified under the standard quoted at 3:3-7 of petitioner's opposition to respondent's motion to vacate filed January 3, 2008.

The DVPA sections defining "abuse" specifically target speech and are more analogous to the content neutral regulation held facially unconstitutional as overbroad in Airport Commissioners v. Jews for Jesus (1987) 482 U.S. 569 than to the regulation in United States v. O'Brien (1968) 391 U.S. 367 which had only an incidental impact on free speech. Because the DVPA allows prior restraint of speech, it is presumptively unconstitutional under New York Times Co. v. United States (1971) 403 U.S. 713, 714.

The O'Brien analysis was applied in Mejia v. City of Los Angeles (2007) 156 Cal.App.4th 151, cited at page 3 of petitioner's opposition to respondent's motion to vacate filed January 3, 2008. Mejia held that Code of Civil Procedure § 1021.5 does not violate the First Amendment under the O'Brien analysis. Petitioner's opposition to respondent's motion to vacate, at 3:15-16 states, "The government's interest in enacting the DVPA was to protect against domestic violence. This intent is unrelated to the suppression of free expression."

The "intent" of the DVPA is irrelevant because the DVPA specifically targets speech and allows prior restraints of speech. O'Brien does not apply to such enactments, which should be analyzed under the standards set forth in New York Times Co. v. United States (1971) 403 U.S. 713 or at least under the standards set forth in Houston v. Hill (1987) 482 U.S. 451, 460 and Airport Commissioners v. Jews for Jesus (1987) 482 U.S. 569, 574-577. Furthermore, "merely stating a laudable purpose" is not "sufficient to justify a restriction on free expression." People v. Glaze (1980) 27 Cal.3d 841, at 848.

///

I believe you have enough to go on now to file a motion to vacate the DVPA orders.

Notaro statement to Spector –investigator for Public Defender

While sitting together and waiting at tsunamis café late one night for this deaf landlord to show up Notaro said that Alisa all of a sudden and surprisingly walked in. Notaro stated that Alisa immediately walked up to their table and “accused” them meaning herself and Willen of being together. Notaro stated Alisa then began yelling and cussing at the two of them. Notaro said is was very much a verbal tirade against the two of them. While Alisa continued yelling at both of them Notaro said a mini bottle of vodka fell out of one. of Spitzberg’s jacket pockets. At one point while all of this was going on Notaro said she then stood up and she was now standing right next to Alisa.

After standing up, Notaro stated that Alisa then Shoved her with both her hands, as well as she next said, “ are you Steph’s keeper.”

After that had occurred Notaro advised that both she and Willen then left this coffee shop, due to the fact they didn’t want any more violence to occur on Alisa’s part. As they quickly walked out of this coffee shop, Notaro said that Alisa continued to follow them out of this location on foot.

In late August of 2007, I accompanied my friend Stephanie to the Tsunami Café in Silverlake, CA. Alisa Spitzberg approached us at our table and aggressively yelled insults at the two of us, including, “fucking dyke,.” “ugly.” “cunt,” “bitch.” Etc.

We ignored her and went outside, but she followed us and became angrier and more belilligerent. As I motioned for Stephanie to gather her belongings to leave, Alisa came closer and pushed me.

Notaro’s statement in Affidavit- April 7, 2008

On the evening of April 7, 2,008. I performed at Largo in Hollywood, CA.. After I got off stage alisa approached me to ask if I remembered her. I said plainly, “Yes, I do.” And then continued a conversation I was having with my agent. Alisa interrupted saying “no you don’t remember me. I said, Yes the night we met you were being aggressive and you pushed me. I remember you and I don’t want to talk to you at all. Leave me alone. Alisa became quickly enraged and insisted repeatedly that I was lying. Because I was afraid it would escalate, I had Michael Griffee, the doorman at largo, escort her out of the building.

Notaro’s statement to investigator for PD given

Notaro said the next occasion, in which she had any type of contact with Alisa had occurred on 4/7/08. On that particular evening Notaro said she was performing at a club called Largo, and her show that night was called “Tig and friends.”

Sometimes during that evening Notaro said she had seen Alisa sitting inside of this club and near the bar area. Notaro advised that her brand new agent Heidi was also in attendance to see her perform her comedy show. After her show was over Notaro said she was in the audience and she was speaking to her agent.

All of a sudden, Notaro stated that Alisa then walked up to the two of them and said, “ Do you know who I am?” Do you remember me? Notaro replied back to her and said, “I know who you are . You shoved me.” After this brief encounter, Notaro said she walked to an employee who works at Largo, named Micheal, and he had asked Alisa to leave the location at her request. Alisa then left the location.

Heidi Feigin- was notaro’s agent and went to see her that night. Neil Spector investigator’s report for public defender.

Before her show even began notoro advised that Notaro walked up to the table where she was sitting at and she seemed upset at the time .She said she asked to notoro what was wrong and notoro told her something to the effect of “ this woman who has caused her a lot of problems is here.” Heidi stated that Notaro continued to tell her that she meaning Notaro had even needed to get a “restraining order” against this same female subject. As Notoro continued to speak with her, Heidi said this unknown female subject in question all of a sudden walked by the table where they had been talking at, and this unknown female subject said “hi” to someone and this unknown female subject continued on her way.

Heidi stated that Notaro told her, “that is the ex-girlfriend of my girlfriend and she’s causing a lof of problems for us.” She said Notoro had also said something to her about this female subject was also “stalking” her. Feigin stated that after this female subject walked by them, she sat at the bar area by herself. Heidi stated that Notaro then left her table, and she performed a short time later.

When asked if this female subject caused any trouble at the show at Largo at this night in question, Feigin said no. Feigin Advised that this unknown subject just appeared to be a “normal fan.” And she had caused no problems on that particular evening. She stated she had just sat at the back of this club and next to the bar while watching the show. When asked if she had seen this unknown female subject ever make contact with Notaro on that night in question, Feigin said no. When asked if she knew the unknown subject’s name, Feigin once again stated no.

THE DEFENDANT WAS JUST SAYING, YOU KNOW: "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU ARE CRAZY. YOU ARE CRAZY."

I'M GOING TO BE ON HER. I'M GOING   TO SHOW UP. THIS IS NOW MY JOB."

To Neil Spector PD

Seccia says he only knows Alisa from their one chance encounter on this occasion, and he further stated that he can’t even rememeber when this encounter had occurred, other than that it took place sometime last year. While located outside and to the rear or Largo, and in between performances, Seccia stated he had been smoking a cigarette when two female subjects approached him on foot.

Seccia said an employee of Largo , by the name of Micheal had actually been the person who was working at the rear of this club at the night in question. Seccia said he just happened to be smoking a cigarette outside and talking with Griffee when these two female subjects walked up to the two of them.

Seccia advised he later found out that these two female subjects had been Alisa and her sister(Lauren)Seccia did say that prior to this encounter with Alisa he had been informed about her another comedian friend of his by the name of “Tig”

Said he works with Notaro on occasion at clubs, be can’t remember whether she had been working with him at this location on this night in question.

When asked why Notaro had informed him and other possible employees at Largo of Alisa Seccia believed that she, meaning, Notaro, had been telling friends of hers, at the various clubs where she performed at , about Alisa and the fact that she, meaning Alisa, had supposedly been making some type of “threatening” remarks against her. Due to this, Notaro said he believed that Notaro was concerned for her safety, and she had wanted to make people aware of Alisa. Other that that information Seccia advised that he had never even heard of Alisa prior to this incident in question.

4. Did this really happen? It didn’t and Julius’s affidavit will confirm what really went on upfront and the profoundly conflicting statements of Notaro, Griffee and Seccia will show that it was a lie and that as Griffee said to the investigator: They just came to talk to management to find out why Notaro was kicking them out. Seccia says the incident took several minutes. Notaro states to this court that under penalty of perjury that this lasted an hour and a half.

5. So, this is the second incident? What about August and is this what happened. According to statements now in possession made my Notaro, Whitaker, Rita and that further discovery should show that Notaro has made this all up and has had others lie for her.

6.-13

The rest becomes moot and the order is void.

From Notaro’s police Statement.

On April 8^th R received an e-mail from Spitzberg who expressed anger over being kicked out of the club and vowed revenge.

I had absolutely no beef with you. I just didn't. Why would I? But, for you to make up a false accusation of me pushing you and have me kicked out when i asked you if I'd heard right about that is incomprehensible. Me and my sister were told to check out the walsh brothers and she didn't want to go so I decided to see what turned out to be your show. You were excellent, and the show was great and that's that. Why would you want to lie about and hurt someone in your audience? I never deserved or anticipated that you'd make up some lie and then have me thrown out. What a hateful thing to do to someone who just pays you a compliment and who has nothing to do with you except for some bad fling ,over a year ago, with your then ex girlfriend. I'll do everything in my(substantial) power to get even.

Affidavit of Notaro

for the duration of this time period, after every incident in which Alisa attempted to contact me in person( I thought I was there to contact Stephanie?) she harassed Stephanie Willen with repeated phone calls and e-mails.

NOTE from Spitzberg: Show one call. I never called Willen ONCE. E-mails were meant to get some understanding of Notaro’s behavior. When did Willen change her number? If so, why? Have them show calls or e-mails etc.

In police report Notaro or Willen says I called Willen and tried to contact her employers. Bring these “employers,” To court. Have willen testify or anyone she knows and was around her during that period.

Police report – April 29^th 2008- statement by notaro

On April 28^th 2008, Notaro performed at the Improv. A friend had contacted her prior to the arrival at the club and told her that Spitzberg had been removed by security.

Notaro went back inside the club and watched from a window. Spitzberg, her sister, and mother were all outside the club yelling about Spitzberg being removed from the club. Spitzberg stated that R better watch her back and that she knew where she lived what car she drove. Patrol officers were called and arrived at the scene.

Affidavit of Notaro- April 29^th 2008

On the night of Tuesday 29^th 2008 I performed at the Improv in Hollywood.CA. As I was driving to the club, Lesley Wolff, the promoter for the show called me to inform me that Alisa had been inside the club and had been removed. As I pulled up at 8.PM, I saw Alisa Outside talking to People. I noticed a sherriff the street, unrelated to the situation, and asked him to see what was going on., to distract alisa, so I could go through the side door.

Brian, the door security informed me that Alisa had announced to him my license plate number and color/make of car, and warned that she knew where I lived.

At 9:30 p.m I was informed that Alisa had left, and then I attempted to leave the club. Just as I took a step out of the door I saw Lauren Walking towards the venue.. Feeling unsafe I went back inside. I was informed that Alisa, Lauren, and their mother were now all in the front of the club. I was stuck inside the club for two more hours as the three of them verbally attacked performers, patrons, and security. The police were called and made note of the incident but because my life had not been directly threatened they were unable to take action. Eventually, the three women left and I was able to go home

Reeta Piazza- gives statement to investigator- contradicts all statements yet and makes no sense and is only in response to fear of lawsuit. Nothing she says is accurate and everything she says just contradicts all testimony of notaro or Whitaker.

Reeta Piazza statement.

On an unknown date and sometime last year piazza said that spitzberg had showed up at the improv on an evening in which notaro was going to be performing there. Piazza further said tNotaro was concerned that spitzberg may try and disrupt her show if she was allowed in this venue on the evening of her performance.

On this particular night in question Reeta state that one of their comedians by the name of Brian whitaker, who was also working in the capacity as “security” at the front door, was the one who had initially recognized Spitzberg at the front door. Whitaker said that Spitzberg had earlier been trying to into the show that night but since Whitaker had recognized her from the earlier photograph, he was not allowing her into this location.

Reeta stated this situation was now brought to her attention that evening, due to Spitzbergs’ supposed behavior after she was denied access into the comedy club. Reeta was advised that spitzberg was acting in a very aggressive manner towards her staff (who???) after she had been denied access into the club. When asked what she meant by “aggressive.” Reeta said that Spitzberg was being “verbally abusive” towards her employees, especially towards Brian Whitaker.

Reeta stated the she then went outside and briefly spoke to Spitzberg about this situation. She said that when she talked to Spitzberg, it appeared that Spitzberg's eyes were very “wild” and she had a strange look about herself. She said Spitzberg also told her that she is a lawyer and that she wasn’t going to look into taking some legal action against her and the club for not allowing her inside the club on that particular evening. Reeta stated after having a brief conversation with her, who believed that Spitzberg is definitely a “disturbed’ individual. When asked if she knew whether or not, if Spitzberg had been alone on that night in question reeta said she believed so, since nobody else had made contact with her, other than spitzberg herself.

She said she works as the Director of Special Events at the Improv Comedy Showcase and Restaurant. She stated that she knows Notaro well, due to the fact she performs at her club as a comedian, on a regular basis. She said she has also met spitzberg on a couple of different occasions due to the fact that she has shown up as a customer at this location when Notaro has performed there. Other than those circumstances she would have absolutely no idea who Spitzberg is.

On a different occasion Reeta stated that Spitzberg once again showed p to the Improv but this time she had identified herself as Spitzberg’s sister Reeta said she was unable to remember about this incident, whether or not the two of them had just wanted to enter the premises in order to watch a show on that particular evening or if they had just come together as to talk with club management in order to try and find out why Spitzberg had been denied access to this business on a previous night.

Reeta said that both Spitzberg and her sister were again verbally abusing her employees on that particular night, and once again neither of them were let into the show on that evening. When asked if Notaro had been performing there on that night, reeta said she wasn’t sure. Reeta advised that the two of them had actually refused to leave on that night, and they were about to call the police. Reeta said both her and her sister eventually left the premises.

Sometime in May 2008, reeta stated that Spitzberg’s mother had also showed up to their comedy club On that particular date, reeta advised the that her mother had some kind of transcripts in her possession, and apparently wanted to show her what had been said about her daughter, that being Spitzberg, at a court hearing involving Notaro obtaining a restraining order against her daughter. R further stated that spitzbergs mother had told her some of her employees had supposedly lied at this restraining order hearing pertaining to issues involving both Notaro and her daughter. R said she never looked at these “transcripts” that spitzbergs mother had in her possession.

In addition Reeta stated that Spitzberg once again showed up at her club, and she was telling her, meaning relaying to r how “Unproffessional” her staff was. R said she didn’t have to call the police this last time when Spitzberg had showed up at this club.

Reeta did advise on the one night that Spitzberg had had showed up to the Improv, in which Notaro had been performing on that particular evening, Notaro did seem very ‘frightened” as soon as she found out that Spitzberg was in front of the club. And she was attempting to get in so as to attend Notaro’s performance. Reeta said neither notaro nor spitzberg had contact with one another on that night in question.

R also stated that Notaro had asked her to show up to court on the date of her restraining order violation hearing but she was out of town on that same date.

R further advised that she doesn’t want to be involved in this matter any longer. I then ended my conversation with r and conducted no further investigation.

Notaro

My friend and fellow comedian, Martha Kelly, informed me of being singled out and harassed by Alisa Spitzberg regarding the permanent restraining order I was awarded against Ms. Spitzberg on May 28^th, 2008. Martha described being at a venue “El Cid” in Los Feliz CA to do Stand up comedy and Ms approaching her and saying such things as “Tell tig I said to drop the restraiing order, she’s a pathological liar, my mother can’t sleep at night because of this, I can’t buy a firearm now, I don’t see her as a human being and I will never let her rest for as long as she’s alive.

Comedian Jeff Singer also witnessed this interaction and contacted me about the scene Ms Spitzberg was causing at the show. Mr Spitzberg’s behavior and comments were extremely disturbing and offered to be a witness if necessary.

Thanks in advance for your attention to this matter,

Mathilde(Tig) Notaro

Ms.

Martha- no mention of mother, no mention of converstation, no mention of me not introducing myself in any way.

Notaro- singeld out Kelly, made scene, mentioned mother couldn’t sleep, made scene of note

Jeff Singer or Klinger- anxious to discuss the disturbing scene- another aspiring comedian ala seccia and Whitaker who have now been shown to be lying.

Manager of el Cid. “No idea what spector was talking about. Would now of any incidence of importance. Never heard or any of this.

Further evidence. Tom sharpe doesn’t live with her and never did. Also goes to show how widespread the slander is/will be in the future.

In response to “Hogre” saying “great article about your roommate on citybeat LA website. Mr. Sharpe writes flattering piece about notaro. Someone writes “ great article about your roommate.

There is an insinuation in your comment. Allow me to clarify:
Tig and I have performed in several shows together and I consider her a friend. While we've exchanged the occasional email and phone call, I haven't seen her in person in over 10 months. We have never been roommates. There was some talk a number of months ago about a group of comics renting a house together-- I was one of those comics. While Tig and a couple of other comics did move forward with that plan, I've never even set foot in the place. Curious to know how you could possibly have heard about any of this, or where you got your erroneous information that I was currently her roommate.
Here's who I am:
I'm a standup comic who's been at it for well over a decade-- this past year and a half I've been inactive due to illness. I know and am on friendly terms with probably half of the comedians in Los Angeles. No exaggeration. Hundreds and hundreds of them. I love comics, from big shot headliners to first year open mikers. You can't do comedy in LA for as long as I have without becoming friends with your fellow comics. (Not unless you're antisocial. Which I'm not, Erin, even though I was a bedwetter and one of the best.) When the editor asked me about writing about comedy for citybeat from time to time I expressed concern. I could write about some brilliant comics, but many of them might also happen to be my friends. It was unavoidable. That's the circle that I run in. Was that a problem?
She thought I could work it out. Here's my promise: If I write about a comic, they're going to be relevant and excellent at their craft. If there's a relevant relationship, I will disclose it.

Hogre,
Your comments and my initial response may have been inadvertently removed along with some targeted comments, which were removed due to their similarity to a glut of comments left on Tig's videos and website and in emails over the past year by a stalker. This person has been court ordered to refrain from all contact with Tig. This is a painful situation and it's truly unfortunate it has to come up here-- I hope that you find it in your heart to understand the circumstances under which you now feel slighted. And I hope that you will refrain from reposting those inappropriate comments as you did above, without waiting for a response.

Again, I am not Tig's roomate. But, I would call her a friend. I have not spoken to her face to face in over 10 months, although we have communicated occasionally by phone and email. As you can see in the interview, I indicated in the question regarding the crackpot tour that I have collaborated with Tig in the past. I was contacted by Tig a number of months ago when she learned that I might have been looking for a place. She and two other comics were concurrently looking for a 4th roommate in a houseful of comedians. I did not move in with them.

As a standup comedian active in the Los Angeles scene for well over a decade, I am on friendly terms with hundreds of comedians. I hope that the concern you've voiced really does regard journalistic integrity as opposed to a personal vendetta and that this will answer your question. My relationships with comedians-- and many of the comics who are most newsworthy in Los Angeles are also my friends-- will have it's pros and cons when I write about comedy. I've learned so much about the inner workings of comedy due to my experience working alongside these comics, interacting with them professionally and socially, and I think this experience qualifies me as an expert as to who is at the top of their comedy game, advancing the craft of standup and making a difference in the Los Angeles and national scene. But I acknowledge it is possible that my friendships might color some objectivity. I keep this in mind and I look to radio for a parallel: I feel that if Steve Jones can do a consistently good radio show, maybe I can somehow pull off an occasional article about comedy. My motivation is this: introduce the Los Angeles public to some truly excellent comedy in the city, and in the process, get paid a few dollars to do it.
I hope this answers your questions

Motive for spitzberg? As invented by Notaro or Willen or both? Spitzberg was jealous over weekend spent with notoaro in april 07 and also upset that Willen didn’t help Spitzberg with comedy career via Notaro.

Destroyed by emails and other evidence. Show e-mails. Send relevant e-mails file.

Motive for Notaro( pig poem. Val Myers “ What are you entitled?” E-mails where willen tells Spitzberg knitting needles over tig due to her and Willen telling Spitzberg how Spitzberg was educated, read, had a good family, so much better than notaro- probably told this to tig to get her jealous and this time willen’s attempt to get someone jealous did work)

Tom sharpe doesn’t live with her

Neither does Chris Fairbanks.

Garage comedy-

Targeted Kelly according to Notaro. Show evidence of going there to avoid any chance of seeing notaro etc. Lack of logic to any of it and depose Kelly or get written statement.

What was really said and was there a scene.

Show investigator’s report of el cid manager.

Credit card statements.

From an interview she (notaro) just did- check to see if this really happened

My joke is- well, then just call the doll Becky. Some people got up during the set and walked out. I asked them, ‘Where are you headed?’ and they said ‘Maybe you’ll think twice before you make fun of people.’ One of the woman pointed at somebody she was with and was like, ‘He just got over cancer...’ I was so baffled, so confused. Everybody was baffled! I don’t know where they read in that I was saying, ‘Haha you have cancer.’ Nowhere. I don’t know where it came about. So, they left and started yelling with the owner of the bar, it turned into a brawl and the cops came. I was still on stage this whole time. A fist fight broke out... This is all during my set. I had to stay focused and talk to audience while people were pinning each other down and screaming. And one of the guys that left, the police broke his leg while they were holding him down.”

from martha kelly's blog

Portland threw us a curveball which we caught and re-threw into a jewelry store, breaking the window and setting off the alarm system. When the cops came we pleaded not guilty by reason of Steve's beard, and as per usual they let us walk.

I tried to rush Tig and Steve out right after the Super 7 show. Tig's response to being rushed goes something like "Oh, uh-uh, no. I won't be talked to like that" and then she walks away. I got mad at her and we had our first and so far only fight while Steve obliviously fingered Japanese toys at the back of the store. I thought we might not speak to each other for hours but our fight ended as abruptly as it started when Tig sassed a panhandler outside the store. She countered his long and winding road of a story with "Hold on a minute sir, I've got a story for YOU." Then she told him about her dad the security guard who lives in a basement in Baltimore. Tour Number Two, Update Number One

Dear Crackpot Blog,

First stop: Ontario, CA. We left an hour late due to a combination of me being an hour late and no one having the balls to leave without me. To make up on time, Tig almost rear-ended a guy. I screamed, Tig objected, Steve overruled the objection. Sidetrack: on the first tour, people not liking other people's driving was a big issue. The people who didn't like my driving were against hearing "whoa-oh!" every time we took a corner over 30 mph. The people who didn't like Tig's driving were disturbed by her combination of speeding and saying things like "I'm not afraid of dying" and "Nothing really matters anyway."

from some other invertiew

Tig Well, we almost got our asses kicked last night. We stayed at this guy’s house who literally went crazy while we were staying there and almost murdered us, so it’s not really as fun as it sounds.

Martha I didn’t stay there. That’s probably why I think it’s fun.

Tig Yeah.

great workin' with ya tig - thanks again, nice riff with "sparkles

Her blogs etc.- admissions of false allegations, memory problems, morality problems ect.

False Allegations.

in unrelated news, my plan to start a band fell apart. turns out our lead guitarist was on smack. i'm not even really sure what "smack" is exactly, but i know that she was on it because people said things like, "i literally think she's on smack." i still hear from our night ranger-style singer/drummer laura silverman daily accusing me of firing her and demanding to be back in the band.

.. git!martha and i worked really hard on the crackpot tour. this means that basically she was in a constant state of panic but signed all of her emails to me with "can't wait. this is gonna be great." lied until it was true

its just a rumor, so you best start gettin excited. a few years back, i stopped cycling. not intentionally, it just happened. maybe you never even knew i cycled at all. if that's the case, then boy do you have some catching up to do. anyway, i would do local rides and long distance rides. other countries, state to state, down to the beach and back or just to the store to buy a new purse or a fun shade of lipstick. i have been missing cycling so much. there is a great deal of focus in cycling. every monday and friday morning, before my friend stef goes to work (around the corner from my house), we take walks around town or down by the ocean together and discuss all things. i'd say they are interesting conversations, but i can't help but dread the thought of ever having to read a transcript of our talks.

was about me going back to my hometown in mississippi after the hurricane and living w/my family in the destruction, with day to day old family issues causing flashbacks from my past

i'll see what i can remember. i have a horrible memory and tend to get easily distracted. it's not always the best thing to take walks down memory lane w/me. it's not horrible, it's just not always great. chances are, you don't even look remotely familiar to me and your name does not ring any name bells. this includes immediate family members too. here we go w/memory lane 2 or so weeks back. my friend tommy came into town and stayed with me for several days.

Morality problems

it's a lovely time, really. the dvd "operation googsie" will be for sale one day w/all money going to charity OR right up my nose. i haven't decided yet..... in other hurricane news, a little over a year ago, hbo had approached me to pitch/develop a show with them. the show i worked on

.kyle was telling me last night that they are as lucky to have me as i am to have them. he's a

Kyles a nice friend. you need people around you that are THAT comfortable with lying right to your face

Manipulates Martha- last on list and only “likes her.” Etc.

it was written by my good friends tom sharpe (i love you tom) and martha kelly (i like you martha).

you'll also see chris fairbanks, scott aukerman, bj porter, ruby wendell, joe wagner, martha

Prone exaggeration and no regard for truth

kyle and i are still writing like crazy. crazy being like 2 or 3 times a week. it usually takes us a good 2 hours before we start actually writing because we like to gossip about ourselves to one another and then we usually eat a nice healthy raw meal. this makes me happy and it makes him complain about starving and then he usually heats up a pizza at 3am and complains about eating a pizza at 3am and how i should have stopped him. we have about 10 sketches/shorts we are hoping to get filmed in the months to come. "months to come" could mean whatever you want it to. i want it to mean "soon." i'm leaving for new york in a couple of days. i'm really excited about hanging out w/my nyc folk. i have very little time and it will no doubt be spent w/kevin williams, dave hill and nick kroll. it's hard going to different cities all the time because i know so many people. memory lane-type stuff comes up. i'm not always good at it knew that
