Tig Notaro had been doing stand-up for more than 10 years when she got up on stage on August 3, 2012, grabbed the mic and began her set with these words: “Hello, Good evening. Hello. I have cancer.” Many critics called the set historic and ground breaking. Louis CK put a $5 recording on his site where it was downloaded more than 100,000 times. Then it was released as an album which shot to number 1 on the comedy charts. In her Netflix special “Boyish Girl Interrupted” Tig went further. She unbuttoned her white shirt sharing her mastectomy scars with the audience. Now she’s married and has twin boys and remains an unusual comedian.
