‘Tig Notaro: Boyish Girl Interrupted’ doesn’t delve into the dark, even
brutal ordeals
of Live or the documentary history of Tig. Instead, it paints a lighter,
frivolous picture of its
star, Tig Notaro using that history as a backdrop for the peak of her
stage show.
Notaro’s persona is a constant play of distance and intimacy, and here
intimacy wins out.
Despite her reputation for deadpan delivery, she’s downright goofy in
‘Boyish Girl
Interrupted.’
She’s got the support of Jack Black, Sarah Silverman, Reggie Watts, and
James Corden
which is shown in an HBO advert in which they all say how great she is, and then
at the end
Notaro says “this is awkward, because I’m actually not a fan of any
of them”.
Her humour is brave, rude, uninhibited and sarcastic, and this LP and CD will
make you feel
like you are right there in the audience.
