Comedienne Tig Notaro has risen to the top thanks to an unabashed, honest commentary about life and love through laughter. Her 2012 set at Largo in Los Angeles, in which she spoke openly about her breast cancer diagnosis, mother’s death, and the end of a long-term relationship was nominated for a Grammy and touted by Louis CK as one of the “truly great, masterful standup sets.” Notaro is getting lots of screen time, but her favorite place is still on a stage with a microphone.
