For those of you who aren't familiar with Tig Notaro, prepare for a brief primer. Tig is a hilarious stand-up comedian/writer. She has a podcast with comedians Kyle Dunnigan and David Huntsberger called Professor Blastoff, which made Rolling Stone's list of 20 best comedy podcasts.
She recently did an interview with Jesse Thorn, host of the podcast Blastoff where she talks about her struggle with breast cancer in 2012 and how that experience has affected her life and her comedy.
Here she is doing the first set I ever heard her do, when it was featured on This American Life:
Most recently, Tig was featured in a piece for The New Yorker about a set she did in NYC last night. It's a beautiful piece that really sums up everything I love about her. Give it a read here.
