INCOMING: Knock Knock, It’s Tig Notaro

Wherein the famed funny lady/Taylor Dane-stalking lesbian cancer survivor treks cross-country playing the living rooms and back yards of super fans. Presumably awkward hilarity ensues, given that awkward has always been her sweet spot, and hilarity her forte. First episode airs 9:30 pm Friday on Showtime.
