I can't recommend Tig Notaro highly enough if you like absolute dead pan, dry humour. In this legendary set she somehow combines heartbreak and trauma with humour for a one off set.

This is truly a performance for the ages. Dark as hell, but extremely funny.

She has cancer, her girlfriend dumped her, and, her Mum has just died. It's hilarious. Don't believe me?..... Then buy it, or, ask Louis C.K.

Honestly one of the most touching, hilarious and life-affirming stand-up albums I've ever heard. (And I've listened to hundreds.)Tig's honesty and mastery of the craft work in tandem to make this a truly memorable performance. I defy you to listen to this and not a) laugh and b) be moved.

I came and bought this because I read the plug on Louis C.K.'s website and I was intrigued. I could not imagine how something this tragic could be funny and I must say - it wasn't, for me anyway. It was emotional and it was interesting but the reality of the situation does not make for easy listening. The person you are listening to has had a terrible life downturn and one cannot help but empathize and feel sad.The humour is understandably subdued - throughout, the audience's laughter seems (to me) jarring and out of place; it starts mildly strong and fizzles as things progress. Don't expect to roll on the floor laughing or anything. You may not even crack a smile.
