Tig Notaro is a standup comic, actor, podcast host. Last year, she produced a documentary called Come See Me in the Good Light. It was shot during what would be the last year of poet Andrea Gibson’s life, before they died in July of 2025 after a years-long battle with terminal ovarian cancer. It won Festival Favorite at Sundance, and was nominated for Best Documentary at this year’s Academy Awards.
Notaro talks to Bullseye about processing the death of Andrea Gibson in the middle of doing press for a film about them. She talks about how her own experience with breast cancer affected her relationship with her body, and she reflects on the sheer chaos of simply living life, even though she doesn’t have to tour for work right now.
