Tig Notaro: Boyish Girl Interrupted

Absolutely fantastic comedy special!

This is my favorite kind of stand-up comedy, one that is clever, but not too clever - doesn't make you feel stupid, but causes you to relate. One that is not afraid to be simple and silly, but also doesn't shy away from seriousness, and makes it lighter.

And above all, I love that it's not full of cursing and vulgarity. I'm no prude, but there's something very refreshing about a clean comedy special.

In the past, I have avoided Tig Notaro, just because she always came across as a little bit, boring to me, in the small bits that I've seen of her. I usually like somebody more animated. But she definitely won me over, with her likability and soft wit. I found myself laughing loudly, heartily, and often, while watching this. It caused me to reevaluate who my favorite stand-up comics are, and how I would rank them.

I will say, she reminded me of another favorite of mine, Ellen DeGeneres - but a more stoic flavor.

I am impressed, and I think I have another favorite comedian now!

So fantastic! Highly recommend!

It's almost like people pretend this person is funny out of pity. Seriously. Ho w is this a thing? Who is giving these unfunny women their own specials?

Stopped watching after 10 min-her jokes were about how she does terrible stand-up. Only joke is on audience who paid for the show.

I would give 0 if I could!! HOW does anyone find her funny at all?!? But then again, if u look at all the crap on today and the amount of people that watch it and think it is funny, u then can understand that the intelligence of the masses is quite lacking and that is HOW anyone can find her funny!! I just saw something else of hers where she started her set by saying her mother died tragically like it was a punchline of some joke, and she repeated it numerous times and then spent almost her whole set pushing a wooden stool around the stage to make it make an awful noise, then had someone sit on it and try to push it!! This just hi-lights how NOT funny she is!! I have given her a try in various forms - stand up, TV show, even just conversations she had with people that i saw - and found NONE of it to be amusing in the least!! I love dry wit, and I like a lot of stuff that a lot of people don't find funny, but listening to her makes my brain physically hurt!! How anyone can say she is great is beyond me, but then again, these are probably the same people that elected Trump!! Avoid her if u have ANY intellect at all, you'll thank me later!!

I have to start off saying I guess I still BELIEVE I think Tig is probably a great writer; that is, I really like shows she has written/collaborated with such as Inside Amy Schumer and the Sarah Silverman Program. In fact, the couple of scenes where she acted on the Sarah Silverman program were hilarious. But after watching this, I guess I'm no in doubt as to how much of the parts of those shows I laughed at were actually written by Tig...since I didn't laugh once during this stand-up act. I didn't so much as smile. In fact it just made me sad to see her talk about "bombing" while bombing. Her stage presence was like watching an even MORE listlessly slow female version of Steven Wright on heroin. I really wish I had something good or funny to say...but then again...neither did Tig, so I guess we're even?
