Tig Notaro (HBO’s “Tig Notaro: Boyish Girl Interrupted”), will return to HBO this summer with the first-ever fully animated stand-up special, it was announced today by Nina Rosenstein, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming. The special will air on HBO and be available to stream on HBO Max.
Ellen DeGeneres serves as an executive producer on the animated stand-up special, marking the third collaboration between Notaro and DeGeneres. DeGeneres executive produced Notaro’s Netflix special “Tig Notaro Happy To Be Here” in 2018 and Notaro co-directed DeGeneres’ Netflix special, “Ellen DeGeneres: Relatable” the same year. Now, these two trailblazing women are creating a groundbreaking new stand-up special in a way that no one has ever done one before.
The special is written by Tig Notaro; directed by Greg Franklin; executive produced by Tig Notaro, Thomas Ouellette, Hunter Seidman, Ellen DeGeneres, Jeff Kleeman, Greg Franklin, Brendan Burch; produced by Rachel Abarbanell; animation by Six Point Harness, Inc; produced for HBO by Ellen DeGeneres’ A Very Good Production and Tig Notaro’s Zero Dollars and Zero Sense productions.
