Tig Notaro’s 2012 stand-up album recorded shortly after her cancer diagnosis was titled Live.
Notaro recorded the performance at Largo in Los Angeles in July 2012, soon after receiving a breast-cancer diagnosis and experiencing several other major personal crises. The set became famous for its calm, minimalist handling of deeply serious material, including the line “Live,” which functions both as a title and as a statement about continuing through hardship.
The album received widespread critical acclaim and became an important example of stand-up built around vulnerability rather than elaborate production. Notaro’s later projects include the television series One Mississippi and the 2015 documentary Tig. Boyish Girl Interrupted is a separate earlier album, while Happy To Be Here is a later Netflix special. Those neighboring titles make the short, exact answer Live especially important.
