Announced today, HBO’s next hour stand up special will be coming from Tig Notaro. Her amazing, lightning-in-a-bottle album Live, it would seem, might just be a preview of this special since she’ll be covering the passing of her mother and her bout with breast cancer.

It is set to tape later this year and we’re hoping that it’ll span the whole range of Tig’s comedic prowess from pushing a stool to the stories she shares at NPR and on The Moth.
