Tig Notaro’s “personal comedy”
Some critics call Tig Notaro’s stand-up comedy “dark” – especially after her famous 2012 set in which she described her breast cancer diagnosis. Notaro prefers the term “personal comedy”. Notaro co-wrote and starred in the semi-autobiographical series “One Mississippi,” starred in “Star Trek: Discovery” and Zack Snyder’s “Army of the Dead,” and co-directed (with his wife, Stephanie Allynne ) this year’s Sundance Film Festival hit “Am I OK?” Notaro will perform Friday, April 15 at Complex, 536 W. 100 South, Salt Lake City. Tickets, from $39.50 to $59.50, are available at thecomplexslc.com.
