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.
