I'm Just a Person

In the span of four months in 2012, Tig Notaro was hospitalized for a debilitating intestinal disease called C. diff, her mother unexpectedly died, she went through a breakup, and then she was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer. Hit with this devastating barrage, Tig took her grief onstage, breaking new comedic ground. Now, the wildly popular star takes stock of that no good, very bad year-- a difficult yet astonishing period in which tragedy turned into absurdity and despair transformed into joy. An inspired combination of the deadpan silliness of her comedy and open-hearted vulnerability, I'm Just a Person is a moving look at this very brave, very funny woman's journey into the darkness and her thrilling return from it.
