"Tig Notaro"

27:01I was mortified. I thought she died. And he was like, has anyone heard from the emergency fill-in comedian? And I'm like, what the hell? And then he walks up to me and gives me my check and fires me. And it was so mortifying. It's, again, my first gig on the road. It's the holiday season. I walk out the front door, and I'm like, oh, no, I forgot my friends were coming that night. So my friends are in line to get into the show. And they're like, woo, we're so excited. And I was like, I said, oh, I was just fired. My comedy was so bad, it caused an emergency. And so they're bringing in a fill-in comedian.

27:49Like they couldn't even stomach me for the rest, like that last night. So they said, let's all go meet at the Mercury Cafe. I'm like okay I go to get in my friend's car and I drive off hit an ice patch spin out of control like in a cartoon I'm still in the parking lot of Wits End oh my god and then the car stops and I'm of course pointed in the wrong direction I'm mortified I thought for sure I was going to be wrapped around a pole and then I start laughing when I realize I lived through it because I immediately thought, what if I had used their car? Their car was a station wagon from the 70s that had clowns painted on it that said, follow me to Wits End Comedy Club.

28:41And if I had died in that moment wrapped around a light bulb. After being fired. After being fired. Fuck. Fired. So anyway, it's been a long road, but I'm almost 30 years in. Yeah, how did you stick with it with that kind of a start? Why didn't you say, yeah, fuck this. I'm going to start a different career. You know, I feel like stand-up is like if you're in an abusive relationship and you keep thinking it was good once. I can get that feeling back, you know, because the first time I did stand-up, it was, I do think it went well enough. And then the second time, I did not win the$100 in the competition I signed up for.

29:30Did you ever think about sending the charts from your number one comedy spender and sending it to the dude in Denver? Well, he also died. Oh, my God. He's a black widow. I know. Let's stay away from that. Out of the path of Tig. Yeah. I mean, what? Well, how about, do you think that your talent, your skill, your angle on all of this has progressively been arcing up? Like, has it continued to get better and better and better and better? My attitude? No, no, doing stand-up and your experience with it. My question is your attitude, yeah. Do you find that you're getting, is stand-up a thing that can be, I find that I'm getting hopefully a little bit better each year.

30:21I continue on doing it over the hell I'm doing. Oh, really? I think, I hope. Golfing. He's talking about golfing. Let's be clear. Yeah, it's golf. Is that something that you're still enjoying? Are you still ascendant in your role? I finished my last tour and put out my stand-up special. And my last tour really kind of ran me into the ground. And I'm working in Toronto right now. So this painting behind me is not mine. That's not you. I was going to ask you about that. Listener, it's just a shot of basically Jesus' home. It's up there in the clouds somewhere. That's right. Go ahead. It's a nice hotel painting.

31:04But I've been working on new material when I have nights off here, and that's felt good. But I've had this building need and interest in doing a one-person show. And so— But isn't that what you do? No, I want it to be a little more of a theme and— Like a two-act, three-act structure. Like on Broadway. Yeah, sure. No, more of a like, but like a more like a I Love You, You're Perfect Now change. Like one of those ones that used to pass down 7th Avenue. Yeah, do a little singing, dancing. Well, My Big Fat Greek Wedding was a one-woman show that turned into a movie because it was her story. So you mean something like that?

31:50Yeah, possibly. Like a Spalding Gray type of thing? Something. Something like that. Or like a talk radio? Are we going to keep going with the... Yeah, keep guessing. More examples. So, I'll have a copy sent to you today. So then it is, So then there's a theme to it and it's a little bit more scripted or fully scripted. Well, I mean, my stand-up is scripted, but I do interact with the audience. If an idea comes to me while I'm doing a show, I'll just go with that and just kind of explore it. Because I don't sit down and write my comedy. I write on stage in front of a live audience. So I do it fully, you know, without a net type writing.

32:31Yeah. Yeah. Do you, do you, I know you're up there in Toronto working. Do you, when you have free nights or whatever, do you still go and perform out like at clubs in Toronto? Are you doing that all the time? That's what I'm doing is there's a comedy club, yeah, out here in Toronto, comedy bar. And I've been doing shows like, I don't know, two or three nights a week. Wow. You get a comedy bar car? They send you a car that says comedy bar. It's a Zamboni. It's a Zamboni. Comedy bar. Just for a callback. Now, you dabbled in. You do the acting as well, and then you dabbled in directing with Stephanie, your wife.

33:11And we directed Sean Hayes. Yeah, good luck with that. Oh, boy. Talk a little bit about that. Go ahead. We did. We made this decision last minute to hire him. We couldn't get anyone else in the role. I was the emergency actor. The emergency fill-in actor. I was Nancy, yeah. That was super fun. I laughed so hard those two days it was really fun is this a project we should plug what's it called it's called M.I.OK starring Dakota Johnson M.I.OK it was out a couple years ago right or something like that it came out this year so thanks for being on top of that promoting my hard work you've been such a good friend so what what kind of part remember don't forget he does or you don't forget he doesn't ask any questions he has no idea and he's not curious about your life go ahead Jason You know, I want to say something about the stand-up thing, though, because you know what always blows my mind?

34:05You want to change the subject from your casting? No, he has more bits than he used to do. No, no. Let's hear him. You know what blows my mind is like when people get up there and they can just, how can you just talk? Like how do you have so much material that you don't, because I'm used to memorizing a script, right? And so, but there's nothing, and I know you've written it all, but just to like, if somebody says a topic, you can have the perfectly constructed joke about that thing. And you have it all at the bank of your head. But it's not all perfectly constructed. It's that I just try to leave my mind open outside of what I've already written or thought about.

34:46And then if something crosses my mind or somebody in the audience says something, I allow myself to go with that. Whatever that is, yeah. Yeah. I got it. And explore and find what's funny about that. Now that you've had all of this tremendous success over the years, do people come up to you all the time and say, hey, I'm such a fan. Can you just do, can you say that funny thing? Or like, do they try to prompt you to perform for them? I would say the most common thing I get is that, no, no, people don't do that. But I did this like 15 minute bit about running into the pop star Taylor Dane. I did this story years ago.

35:27and I did it on This American Life. I ran into her so many times. And the first time I ran into her, I genuinely said, excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you. I just have to tell you, I love your voice. And she was rude to me. And she said, yeah, I don't do that anymore. And then turned and kept talking to somebody. And then I kept running into her. And every time I saw her, I was like, oh my God, I'm going to go up and say the exact same thing. I said to her at that party. Just for my sister, Taylor Dan was a big 80s pop star. Just in case people don't know who Taylor Dan was. Was your sister born after the 80s?

36:06The fuck are you doing? No, I haven't done that. That was for me too, by the way. Was it really? You didn't know who Taylor Dan was? You don't know who Taylor Dan was? Tell it to my heart. Tell it to my heart. Love will lead me back. Nope. Anyway, so you see her a bunch of times. You keep doing the same. So I see her out to dinner. I see her at cafes. I see her everywhere. And I just walk up and I interrupted her every time and would say, Hi, excuse me. I'm sorry to bother you. I just have to tell you I love your voice. I love your voice. Yeah. Every time. And she's like, who the fuck are you?

36:35It became this experiment that I was doing because I was like. Did she know it was you every time at this show? No. No. Never. Never registered. Never did. No way. Yeah. Did she die? Really funny. Huh? Did she die? No, she's alive. Okay. And then we actually became friendly because of this because word got out that I was doing this story and then whatever. And I did this on This American Life. They did the story and then invited Taylor Dane to that performance. And so I met her there. No way. But anyway, people come up to me all the time and say, excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you, but I just have to tell you, I love your voice.

37:20I love your voice. That's amazing. Wait, Tig, that's so good. I love that you did that. First of all, I love your commitment to shit like that. You've told me umpteen stories of things that you do. And one of my favorite, please tell us about some of the things you'll do at parties. Because it's my, these are my favorite. Party bits, sure. Party bits. Actually, you know what a bit that I did on radio, morning radio, when I first started doing stand-up? I'd have to go at six in the morning to, you know, some like Fargo or something to do to promote my show. and I would always ask the radio hosts to please talk.

37:59Like as soon as I come on the show, please talk about how gorgeous I am. And just like go on and on. Like Howard Stern and certain people, just like you are beautiful. I mean, look at you. And because I thought, oh, maybe that'll get people to the show. But also it really made me laugh to think of people showing up to see, this is years ago and just seeing a disheveled, monotone lesbian on stage, you know, talking about my cats. You're like, I didn't know I was going to an Indigo Girls concert. Hey, wait a second. But talk about the party bits. Party bits, the fucking, oh, God, I'm so jealous.

38:41I feel like you really liked this one, but my friend Henry Phillips, who is one of the funniest comedians, please look him up and watch everything he does. He's so funny. Hi, Henry. And he has a couple of movies out, Punching Henry, Punching the Clown. I'm in one of the movies. But anyway, he and I do so many bits together. Yeah. He's so good. And I used to live in Venice in California. And he was like, hey. He was like, I'm at a party near your house. He was like, I don't know any of these people. He was like, you got to come do some bits with me. And I was like, yeah, sure. I'll head over. I love the mischief of it.

39:20So I go meet him, and we're just loose at this party doing all these different bits that are truly for our own amusement, which is what I do things for. And if people catch on or they enjoy it too, that's fine. But I love looking foolish. So I go in. I don't know anybody at this party except Henry. I go into the kitchen. there's like five people standing around, you know, leaning against the kitchen counter, having a drink, chatting. And it's a Saturday night, maybe 9.30. And I lean in and I just tap the wall and I go, hey guys, I'm going to be going to bed in like 10 minutes.

40:05I have no idea if the owner of the house is in there. I have no idea if the host is in the kitchen. I don't know who those people are. And then I go find Henry and I'm dying laughing. And I was like, oh my God, I just told five people in the kitchen I was going to bed in 10 minutes. And he's like, oh my God. He said, there's like 200 people in the backyard. You have to go out on the deck and announce that. So I was like, no problem. And this is years ago before I was like on TV regularly and whatever. And I walk out on the back deck. Everyone's holding their solo cups and whatever. and I'm like, hey, everybody, just so you know, I'm going to be going to bed in like 10 minutes.

40:54And to me, I'm like, you know, I am, for all you know, I could be going home and going to bed in 10 minutes. That doesn't mean I own the house. They're bad, not yours. Tig, there's something about that that I've just always loved. I think it's the funny, it's so fucking profoundly funny. it reminds me I used to always want to do this but I never had the guts I wanted to drive around like Beverly Hills Bel Air like in a fancy car and pull up to gardeners as they're about to start on these big fucking estates and just go roll my window down and go I just spoke to the missus she said you guys can take the day off fully paid and just start relieving gardening crews around Beverly Hills and Bel Air and they're like look at each other like fully paid yeah you guys the missus said go ahead she had a long night You guys don't turn that shit on.

41:43Get out of here. I remember one time you texted me to, you said, I'm about to drive by your house. I want you to stand outside and look on your phone, but don't look at me as I drive by. And so I was like, okay, I'll do it. And I stood by and I couldn't look up and you drove by and you said, hey, Sean, hey, Sean, and I didn't look up. That was the bit. That was the bit. I had a beat buried in my phone. I didn't quite understand it, but it made me laugh. You don't understand it? It was like performance art. Yeah. God, that is so good. You know, Tig, you'd like this. My buddy, Pete Serafinwicz and all these English guys, they did this bit once.

42:25They'd go to a restaurant in London, and they all learned beforehand. They got together, they conspired, and they learned, and they sang. It was somebody's birthday. So they sang happy birthday, and then everybody at the table, like eight of them, launched into a second verse that they had written. So they start singing a second verse to Happy Birthday, and everybody in the restaurant starts looking at each other like, hey, what is this? As if they've never done this second verse. That is so funny. How fucking funny is that? Oh, my God. That's great. I am so jealous. I know. We'll be right back.

43:06All right, back to the show. Tick, what about the kids? You now have, with your wife Stephanie, you have two little, the cutest boys ever. Yes, Max and Finn. They're doing well. They have senses of humor. Seven, eight. They are eight. They will be eight and a half this month. And huge into golf these days. Truly? They are so into golf. Come on. They're so into baseball, basketball. They're on some team. um and um but yes sean they're there there's they have a sense of humor my son max i i think that well i tell everyone he has he's bone dry and we don't know where he got that um and um sure sure but uh who was it was there a bone dry comedian that really kind of defined your comedic sensibility like was it like stephen wright or somebody i was really into stephen wright and i also really loved Paula Poundstone.

44:07I thought she was so great at writing jokes, telling stories, and also interacting with the audience. I felt like she could do everything and still feel that way. But yeah, my kids, they're like little, a friend of ours described them as like little Midwestern uncles because they're just, they have like a certain maturity about them. and my son, Max, one of my favorite things that he said when he was four, Stephanie and I were sitting on the couch with Max, Finn, her dad, and our three cats. And Max got up when he was four, just got off the couch and he said, I'm getting the hell out of here. All these damn cats walked out of the room.

44:58I was like, I like your style, kid. No way. That is so funny. Yeah, they're the best. Never dogs for you. No, I've had dogs. I've had a couple of dogs in my life, but we call our house Kitty City. Yeah, and do you like that the cats just sort of, they take care of themselves? They don't bother you. You don't bother them. Yes, I like that in a person. Yeah, a dog needs shit, right? A cat needs nothing. I mean, but I do love an excited dog that's just like about to have a stroke. They're so excited to see you. They get the zoomies. Yeah. Now, Stephanie, you really make Stephanie laugh too, which is great.

45:39You guys laugh a lot. Yeah, I love Stephanie. Stephanie really makes me laugh a lot. Yeah, and she's really funny too. Yeah, she's so funny and she's in love with Will. I'm in love with Jason and we don't know where Sean fits into this equation. Sean was with the kiddies. I love Stephanie. Yeah. I love Stephanie. I love Stephanie. Is there a meet cute there you want to share with us? Yeah. We met on the movie, Lake Bell's movie called In a World. The great Lake Bell. Yeah. And I was deathly ill. I didn't know I had three deadly diseases at one time. And then I collapsed, went away, and dealt with...

46:18Wait, was this the cancer? It was cancer, pneumonia, and this intestinal disease called C. diff. I had it all three at once. Christ. So I go away. And I was in a relationship. Stephanie had never dated a woman. We really enjoyed each other on set, but I wasn't thinking I was into her romantically, and she wasn't thinking that about me. So I collapse, I go away. Six months later, I resurface in the world, and the movie's going to Sundance, and we exchanged numbers, and I told her, I said, you know, I'm not the biggest texter, and I told her about this girl that texted me incessantly after coffee and that she texted that night, she said, sweet dreams, the girl I had gone out with.

47:06And not that I thought Stephanie was into me, but I was just giving her the example that I'm not great at this. And that night, Stephanie texted me sweet dreams. And I was like, oh, that is hilarious. And then we start texting and it's kind of building. And I'm thinking, oh, I'm really into her. And she had invited me, I was writing my book at the time. She invited me to come meet her and her friends at La Pubelle in Los Angeles. And I thought, oh my God, it's 11 o 'clock. I haven't showered. I'm wearing this big wool, Canadian wool sweater with an eagle on my back. I can't go meet her. And then I thought, oh, well, she's not even into me.

47:47So who cares what I look like? And it happened to be Valentine's Day. And so she's sitting at this table. Happened to be. But truly, she wasn't into women. And so she's at this table with friends. I walk into the bar. She is wearing a dark blue Canadian wool sweater with an eagle on her back. No way. And I was like, this is insane. I said, let's switch sweaters. So we switch sweaters and her friend says, get together so I can take a picture of you. We go to hug each other and we start making out immediately when we touch each other. And then we end up making out that night and then she writes me a five million page email the next day, I get it, that's telling me how much she loves hanging out with me, how funny she thinks I am.

48:44She's not gay, but that she wants to be friends. I can't tell you how long this email was. I'm reading this going, ah, because I realized I do like her, you know, but I thought I can't chase her because she's not into it. So I wrote back, okay, dyke. And that's the only thing I wrote. And then she said when she got that response, She just thought, okay, I like this person. And so now. Yeah, that's great. And then so, I mean, you know, however you're comfortable relaying this, if there's any further in the story you're willing to go, how does that, do you guys just start seeing each other for a while?

49:32Because you want to respect her sexuality, but you want to continue seeing her, but you also don't want to like, you know, work on flipping her or like, how does that go? What happens? Well, so... It's true. Yeah, it's a good question. I mean, I just don't, like, how do you protect your own heart? How do you protect your own heart? And, like, you know. Go to work. Go flippin' her. Put on my heart hat. So I didn't know that she had... I didn't know OK Dyke made the impression that it did. I just thought, I need to be lighthearted, let this go, and just see her as a friend down the road. but I knew it was going to take me a beat.

50:14So I told her, I said, I get it. Like when we talked again, I said, I just need some space and then I'll be able to see you as a friend and everything's fine. And so I went to Montreal and was doing shows there and she reached out to me like a few weeks later and she said, I'd like to see you when you get home. And I said to my friend who was there with me and I was like, why does she want it? And he was like, because she likes you. And I was like, no, no, no, I know. But she told me she doesn't want to. He was like, what do you think? She's like, oh, I want to see you again so I can tell you for sure I don't like you.

50:50And I was like, I don't know, maybe. And then she came over. We had multiple friends that were females that weren't gay, right? You had multiple friends that were females that weren't gay. So you were thinking, you know, maybe this is just another one of those perhaps. Yeah, I just didn't know what to think. But I got back to L.A. and she came over. And she's just a very confident, comfortable person. And she's very straightforward. And it's what I realized I'm so into about her. And so she sat down on my couch and she just turned to me and said, I realized that I want to be with you. And I was like, oh, what do you mean?

51:34And she said, like, I want to be with you. I don't want to, I'm not saying I want to see how it goes or check things out. I want to be with you. And I was like, what? I was so, I was so. You still had the Eagle jacket on or? You still hadn't showered. You still hadn't showered. We took our Eagle jackets off and we got down to it. And it was just pure. It wasn't about declaring as a label or anything. It was just like, all I know is I just really want to be with you. Whatever that is, it is. Yeah. That's great. Yeah. And we do, we make each other laugh a lot. Very cool. I love that. I love her so much.

52:13And I love you so much. And I remember one time you had, you were doing your live show and you wanted me as a guest and it was at the... Largo. What is that? Largo, at Largo. And so we had such a good time and we laughed really hard. And then the next day, literally the next day... Next morning. I go, yeah, the next morning, I go to La Pan, this restaurant on Larchmont, and you walk in and we both have the exact same outfit on that we were on stage in. No way. Yeah, we both slept in those clothes and then woke up thinking, well, it's early. I just want an egg. I want a couple eggs and I'm going to go home and shower and change.

52:53You're across the city. No one from the show is going to be there. Yeah. Do you remember that? Except we live close to each other and dress alike. Yeah, exactly. Oh, and you know what I have to say? Also, Stephanie directed my latest stand-up special. Oh, no way. And was nominated for an Emmy, and so was the editor, and so was everyone else except me. I was the problem. Oh, no. Now, wait, what is the name of that one? Is that one Hello Again? That is Hello Again, yeah. Very, very nice. So wait a second, are you in Toronto doing stand-up or movie? Stand-up. Show. I'm doing a show. I pay attention because I know what she's doing.

53:36I'm doing Star Trek with Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti. Yeah. Oh, great. Wow. Do they have to wear the alien makeup? Paul, yes. Holly, no. Are they lesbians in space too? I have to ask just for full fairness. It's called Starfleet Academy, Lesbians in Space. That's the new series is Starfleet Academy. I don't know Holly Hunter, but we love Paul Giamatti. He's just a gem. He's a gem, gem, gem. Yeah, he is. Yeah, and Holly's great too. I'm sure. Obviously a real talent. And then I'm thrown in the mix. Don't you dare. Don't you dare. Take Natara as a gem. But I do have, I mean, close to lesbians.

54:21Well, it's across the spectrum. But my podcast, Handsome, is right here on planet Earth. It's like my fourth podcast. I don't know if you know, I've been podcasting for a long time, you guys. And how are you loving it? Are you loving it? You're still loving it. I really enjoy podcasting. Oh, my gosh, yeah. I was so baffled by it in the early days. I think I started in like, I don't know, 2006 or something. I have no idea. But I do enjoy it. It's such a different way to be comedic and tell stories. Yeah, and you can do it inside the comfort of an air-conditioned room. In the comfort of an air-conditioned or heated furnished apartment in Toronto.

55:07Yeah, up there with the Jesus painting behind you. Do you want, I'll text her real quick, guaranteed she's available. Do you want to have lunch with my mom today? I would love to. Would you? She's close. She's a character. She's a lot of fun. She'll keep you on your toes. Okay, well, hook up the lunch. Okay, I'm gonna hook it up. Tig, hurry home and get back to our Sunday rhythm. Yeah, we miss you. We miss you. I have missed you dearly. We would love to see you. When does this come out? Today. It's on right now. You're going to tell your family? Yeah. I'm going to tell all my dead parents. Yeah.

55:46But hurry home so we can hang out again. There's a better chance of them listening than of Sean's dad listening. Put it that way.

55:56Wait, how can I naturally mention, because I wanted to naturally mention something and I didn't naturally mention it. You're doing it. I have a documentary that just got accepted to Sundance. You ready for this? You ready for this? Fantastic. And weren't you working on a documentary for a while? Yeah, I was going to get to that, Will. You know, I've got a bunch of questions here.

And they called me three days later and they were like, we're in. And they got on a plane, flew to Boulder, Colorado. and started filming. When does it come out? Well, it's going to be at Sundance. Sundance, okay. That's January, right? In January. But Andrea is a brilliant poet, just a brilliant poet, mind-blowing. Yeah, what's it called? Yeah, what's the documentary called? I believe right now it's Come See Me in the Good Light. Come See Me in the Good Light.

57:15The title's kind of shifting a little bit as we get closer to finish. Well, I mean, that's the last I've heard. That's the working title is Come See Me in the Good Light. But it's a phenomenal documentary about a phenomenal person. Sorry, mention Andrea's full name again for the— Andrea Gibson. Andrea Gibson. Andrea Gibson. Written eight books. Oh, amazing. Wow.

That was such a funny story about her name, good cord, about the pig teeth. You know, pigs do have teats Yeah, that's why it made sense. Did you know you can get milk from a pig? That there's pig milk? No. There's certain countries, they drink pig milk? Oh, God.
