I am watching One Mississippi with Tig Notaro.

It is making me laugh, and at times, tearful. I also love that Tig is an out lesbian butch.

It is really good.

Amazon Prime.

From Wiki:

"...In November 2015, Notaro co-wrote, produced, and starred in a semi-autobiographical TV pilot for Amazon Video called One Mississippi.[17] The show received a series order from Amazon a month later.[18] The show will follow Notaro's character as she returns to her hometown of Bay Saint Lucille, Mississippi after her mother's unexpected death.[18]

Comedic style
On her approach to comedy (and if she considers herself a dark comic): "I'm always going to do whatever I think is funniest. If something's dark, I'll do it. If it's a sock puppet, if it's a stool, I'll do it. There's no preconceived idea of who I think I might be now."[4] Notaro said that since her cancer diagnosis, she has shifted not to darker comedy, but rather to personal comedy. Previously she was more distant and observational, but now she reflects on her childhood and her life.[2]

Personal life

Notaro sometimes discusses her romantic relationships in her act, but tries to maintain a level of privacy.[19][20][21] Notaro met her wife,[22] Stephanie Allynne, on the set of the movie In a World...[2][23] They became engaged on January 1, 2015[24] and were married on October 24, 2015.[25] They welcomed twins sons, Max and Finn, on June 26, 2016, conceived using Allynne’s eggs via a surrogate.[26]"
