Tig Notaro

Season 6 Premiere Episode: My guest is the multi Grammy and Emmy nominated comedian, filmmaker, actor, writer, and podcaster Tig Notaro. A true artist of standup. Continually pushing bits and using boundaries to advance all of our understandings of quite what one can do and achieve with stand-up comedy. As we discuss, and is mentioned in virtually every introduction given to her, she has suffered more hardships and misfortunes than many of us could fathomably bear, and yet has not only survived them all but turned unrelenting darkness into hall of fame level comedic joy, with a unique talent of crafting material that resonates, connects, and uplifts people at every possible point in their lives. She is creative genius. And a couple days before her birthday, we sat down to talk.
