Tig Notaro is returning to HBO this summer with the the first-ever fully animated stand-up special.
Ellen DeGeneres is set to serve as executive producer of the special which will air on HBO and be available to stream on HBO Max.
“After having had the pleasure of seeing bits and pieces of my comedy animated over the years by some talented artists, I became DRAWN to the idea of creating a fully animated hour,” said Notaro. “Stand-up can be a very solitary art form, so combining it with a collaborative years-long creative effort was such a joyful experience. I’m so proud of this special and can’t wait for everyone to be fully vaccinated watching with their Nana.”
Notaro previously released her 2015 special Boyish Girl Interrupted on HBO.
“Tig is truly an original and this animated special solidifies her status as an artist who constantly transcends expectations,” said Nina Rosenstein, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming. “We’re so excited to have her back on HBO with this fresh take on stand-up.”
