3. Tig Notaro: Live
You know about this already. So I’ll mention what isn’t as obvious as Notaro’s resilient attitude or tell-all disclosure. Here we see the balance every comic faces when they step to a microphone, the first responsibility being to make the audience laugh, but also they must make the audience think. This is problematic because Americans run into many problems when they think, some of them reducing a will to laugh. So how then, does Notaro talk about the greatest problem of them all, so intimately, to such a roaring, hysterical response?
