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.

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. Go to Full Review
Alyssa Rosenberg Washington Post 08/02/2019
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. Go to Full Review
Alison Herman Flavorwire 08/02/2019
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. Go to Full Review
Matt Roush TV Insider 08/02/2019
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. Go to Full Review

Ken B 07/07/2023 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. See more 09/05/2019 Terrible. Spare yourself See more 09/04/2019 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. See more 01/01/2016 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. See more Read all reviews
