History Creator / TigNotaro

She is best known for being thrust into comedy legend in 2012 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She elected to continue with a show she had booked at the Largo a few weeks later, making it all about her illness and stunning the crowd with her frankness about such a horrific subject and ability to find humor in it. She later had a double mastectomy and was declared cancer-free, and has continued her career with a healthy addition of BlackComedy, though she still maintains her fair share of lighter jokes. She was also the subject of the Netflix documentary ''Tig'', which covered both her battle and her struggle to figure out what to do with her career after she beat the disease. She later starred in the Creator/PrimeVideo comedy series ''Series/OneMississippi'', which she co-created with Creator/DiabloCody.

* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: The recording of her Largo show ''Tig Notaro Live'' is pronounced "lih-ve," not "lie-ve."

* AmbiguousSyntax: A bit in her recent ''Happy to Be Here'' special details a time when her wife asked her how to have sex with a baby (that is, how to have sex with a baby in the house). Tig, who thought her wife was asking [[BlackComedyRape how to have sexual intercourse with a baby]], was confused and disturbed.

* TheOtherMarty: The helicopter pilot in ''Film/ArmyOfTheDead'' was originally played by Chris D'Elia, and principal photography was completed with him. Creator/ZackSnyder decided to [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor replace D'Elia because of sexual misconduct allegations]] targeting him, and hired Tig. She did most of her performance alone in front of a green screen except from one reshoot with Creator/AnaDeLaReguera, and was woven into the film via CGI in the place of D'Elia.
