This morning I read this article about the hilariously funny and talented Tig Notaro. Unfortunately, Tig has been diagnosed with cancer in both breasts, news that she shared at a gig at the Largo theater the other night. By the sound of it, something incredibly rare and special happened at the Largo on Friday night, as Kira Hesser says on her blog, 'The Way We Weren't': 

“My head is still swimming around what happened last night. We all saw the ultimate embodiment of what comedy is supposed to do: deeply personal tragedies somehow transformed, with the enormous, necessary power of an open-hearted audience, into brilliantly-written truths that we’ll all take home with us and keep with us as long as we’ll have a sound-enough mind to remember that show.”

Here's a hilarious clip of Tig on Conan. I love how Conan, Andy and Paul F. Tompkins are hysterically laughing in the background. Rock on, Tig.
