Tig Notaro: Boyish Girl Interrupted

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Tig Notaro bears her scars both figuratively and literally in a set that exemplifies the comedian's dry wit and gift for mining humor from heartbreak.

Stacey May Fowles Globe and Mail I hesitate to use pat terms like "heartwarming" and "feelgood," but Notaro is deeply skilled in turning painful, dark subject matter into a salve for her viewers. Aug 2, 2019 Full Review Alyssa Rosenberg Washington Post One of the delights of "Boyish Girl Interrupted" is the way it showcases Notaro's gift for physical comedy... The special also gets at Notaro's particular talent for mining the funniest details out of even relatively small incidents. Aug 2, 2019 Full Review Alison Herman Flavorwire Simply surviving what Notaro has is inspirational in and of itself, of course. But Boyish Girl Interrupted puts the machinery required to translate those experiences into great comedy on full display. It's almost awe-inspiring. But mostly, it's funny. Aug 2, 2019 Full Review Matt Roush TV Insider With great deadpan timing, a coolly nonchalant attitude and a gift for making silly jokes feel smart, Notaro keeps her Boston audience enthralled. And ultimately moved. Aug 2, 2019 Full Review Robert Ham Paste Magazine Shirt on or shirt off, Notaro is still going to remain one of the best standup comics around. Long may she run. Rated: 9/10 Aug 2, 2019 Full Review Mitchel Broussard We Got This Covered Thrives on the juxtaposition of Notaro's deadpan delivery and her dead-serious subject matter, and given that the whole enterprise manages to avoid feeling gimmicky at every build-up and punchline is a feat alone worthy of celebration. Rated: 4/5 Aug 2, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Ken B Is it just me or does Tig look like Lucie Arnaz Jr.?? Anyway, I dunno about this stand-up act. Fifteen minutes in, and I barely let out a chuckle. Sorry, but I need more than that. She just seemed so drowsy and dozy and like no range in her voice whatsoever. Just…not entertaining at all. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrible. Spare yourself Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member She's the Muzak version of other comedians. She's probably the funny person at a party of non-comedians but not funny compared to professionals. She's polished and intentional but the jokes are lame and her delivery is too. Try Dave Chappelle's Sticks and Stones for something actually entertaining. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Her bizarre delivery doesn't get in the way of her excellent material Over and over she methodically pays off on seemingly dead set ups. And, she performs the last third of her set topless, baring her post-double-mastectomy chest. Obviously, it's a bold choice that challenges norms about body ideals and affronts traditionalists who think jokes should be told with a shirt on.
