Tig Notaro

Yes, you can.

Tig Notaro once did a whole show based on one chance encounter with singer Taylor Dane.

It helped to further her career and solidify her as a stand-up great.

She's publicly shared her struggles and successes both on and off stage.

She was once referred to as the heart of stand-up comedy by Brian.

Wow, Tig must have a big heart.

She agreed to come on TCB.

Or she just has empathy for Chrissy.

And so do I. Tig Notaro is your penultimate guest on TCB's Endless Day.

I'll be back next hour with Brian and Chrissy to wrap it all up.

Let's start Tig's episode now.

Thank you.

And, um, and I, uh, yeah, I, I went on stage just feeling like I had lost everything in the world. And, um, and, uh, There was no part of me that thought this is going to be anything. I didn't even think the people in the audience wanted to hear about it, much less the life that it took on. Yeah, it went viral. A lot of people were blogging and tweeting about it. I remember that.
