Tig Notaro Is 2021’s Sexiest Action Star. Now She’s Also a Cartoon. What Will She Be Next?
Tig Notaro seems to be everywhere lately. The comedian has been a household name for years, but lately her career has swerved in ways few could have predicted. There was the time she popped up in a Phoebe Bridgers music video out of nowhere last year, and more recently, thanks to a quick casting substitution in Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead, the self-described “low-key” lesbian has become 2021’s sexiest action star.
“Especially after turning 50, it was a real curveball,” the comedian told The Daily Beast during a recent interview. “But I’ll take it.”
Tig Notaro: Drawn, which debuts Saturday on HBO, is another kind of experiment—a fully animated special that transforms the comedian’s confessional anecdotes into cartoon vignettes.
