About this episode

Tig Notaro discusses her challenging experiences and successes in comedy and documentary filmmaking with Dan Le Batard.

Tig Notaro had the worst month of her life. Then, she had her big break because of it.Tig has always been a wild child, from growing up with a free spirit of a mother, to repeating eighth grade (twice) before dropping out of school entirely, to performing half her stand-up set with her shirt off after having a double mastectomy. With Dan Le Batard, Tig explores where her own “go to hell” energy comes from. Tig also speaks about being an Oscar-nominated producer for her work on “Come See Me In The Good Light,” a documentary following the death of her friend and poet, Andrea Gibson. She also looks at why, despite being a ridiculously funny comedian, some of her greatest successes also deal with deep grief.
