This week on Reclaiming, we sit down with the unflinching and fiercely funny Tig Notaro, a comedian whose honesty and humor have redefined the boundaries of stand-up. In this raw and revelatory conversation, Tig opens up about the life-threatening battle with C. diff that left her physically depleted, and the surreal moment that followed just months after —when she stepped on stage just days after being diagnosed with cancer to deliver what would become one of the most iconic comedy sets of our time. She also speaks candidly about the devastating loss of her mother, who passed away while Tig was still in the hospital herself, and how that grief compounded an already unimaginable chapter of her life.With her signature deadpan delivery, Tig reflects on how facing mortality reshaped her approach to comedy, creativity, and connection. She shares her thoughts on emotional growth, vulnerability, and what it means to truly reclaim your life in the aftermath of trauma.Be the first to know about Wondery’s newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!
