Tig Notaro is a comedian, actor, screenwriter, producer, and co-host of the podcast Handsome.
This conversation explores Tig's legendary 2012 set—delivered days after her cancer diagnosis—and how loss became her greatest teacher. We discuss her wild upbringing, choosing presence over performance, the napkin-based writing process, what's going on in the comedy scene, and producing "Come See Me in the Good Light," the Sundance-winning doc about poet Andrea Gibson.
Oh, and we bond over spinal fusion surgery recovery.
Tig is great—and I really enjoyed our time together. Enjoy!
