She isn't funny...there, we've said it.
She talks about bombing onstage...when...she's bombing onstage.
She describes how she would like to be applauded, praised...is excruciatingly optimistic.
Her delivery is that of a drone.
And, just when it couldn't get any worse...it does.
Notarro has made her cancer central to her material...when she strips that material back...and stands there...centre-stage...bare-chested, with the double mastectomy scars in the spotlight...you have to ask yourself...why?
There is something profoundly wrong with this kind of grandstanding...
Brave? Perhaps.
Entertaining? Not in the slightest.
No trailer...

One of America’s funniest and most groundbreaking comedy talents stars in her first-ever HBO stand-up comedy special, Tig Notaro: Boyish Girl Interrupted. The exclusive presentation will feature the Grammy® nominee in an all-new performance taped in May before a live audience at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts. Known for her distinctive storytelling and offbeat sense of humor, Notaro often draws on her highly personal experiences with no-holds-barred honesty. Over the course of her one-hour show, Notaro tells stories about a number of subjects, including: performing in Las Vegas; the search for the perfect Santa Claus; her favorite laugh noises; bringing her fiancée to meet her Mississippi family; TSA screening; flying in small planes; unusual public signs; standing ovations; and more.
