Comedian Tig Notaro began her set at Largo in Los Angeles the day she was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer with: "Good evening, hello. I have cancer. How are you?" There was nervous laughter, weeping and total silence in the audience. Comedian Louis C. K. tweeted about her performance that night: "In 27 years doing this, I've seen a handful of truly great, masterful standup sets. One was Tig Notaro last night at Largo." After a double mastectomy, the cancer was contained and Notaro is now in remission and feeling well. Her set at Largo, "Tig Notaro: Live," is out on CD. In addition to standup, Notaro has appeared on This American Life and Conan. Notaro was also a writer on the Comedy Central series Inside Amy Schumer and appears in the new film In A World.
