"Good evening, I have cancer," comedian Tig Notaro famously announced in 2012 during a set at a comedy club in Los Angeles. "Everyone having a good time? I have cancer." In just 30 minutes, Notaro revealed her grave prognosis with a disarming mixture of humor and vulnerability. Almost overnight, the set became a media sensation and critical smash and helped push the beloved comedian past a series of devastating setbacks. Having just recovered from a life-threatening infection and still in mourning over her mother's sudden passing, Notaro's subsequent discovery of bilateral breast cancer left her no choice but to turn profound pain into an ongoing punch line, both on and off the stage. The result is a poignant and playful window into a comedian's process turning her worst fears and anxieties into pure comic gold. Produced by Beachside Films. Co-directed and produced by Ashley York.
