She has performed in her own off-Strip show in Las Vegas called “Little Comedian, BIG Laughs” as well as her one-woman show called “Little Do They Know” at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where she received 4 star reviews. Tanyalee’s perception of people, and how they perceive her, exaggerates the humor of life’s “little” tasks and routines.
