Tig Notaro

<p class="p1">Tig Notaro has both survived and thrived in the decade since she first disclosed her breast cancer diagnosis to a live audience in Los Angeles in August of 2012. Notaro has released three stand-up specials, two on HBO and one on Netflix, in addition to a road-trip special for Showtime, while she also was the subject of a documentary for Netflix. She poured some of her life story into her own series for Amazon Prime Video, <em>One Mississippi</em>, and wrote a memoir, “I’m Just A Person.” She has been nominated for two Grammys and an Emmy, gotten married and became a mother to twin boys. Notaro has more recently reached new heights with a regular role on <em>Star Trek: Discovery</em>, replaced a disgraced comedian in post-production on the hit Netflix zombie movie, <em>Army of the Dead</em>, and now has turned one of her stand-up performances at Largo into an animated special for HBO called <em>Drawn</em>. Notaro joined me to talk about making <em>Drawn</em> and reflected on her career up til now, so let’s get to it!</p>
