Tig Notaro: Boyish Girl Interrupted

"Notaro knows exactly what she’s doing. Her performance normalizes her experience of illness as just part of what happens to a person, simultaneously challenging both the common narratives of survivors and the unspoken limits on what bodies are deemed appropriate for media consumption. It’s a cliché to say a performer is comfortable in their own skin, but Boyish Girl Interrupted makes that cliché the bare truth."
