Live (Tig Notaro album)
Live (pronounced "liv") is the second live album by American comedian Tig Notaro. It is a deeply personal set performed just four days after Notaro was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer. The album was first released as a download on Louis C.K.'s website in 2012.[1] It was the first release that C.K. featured on his website by a comedian other than himself, though it is no longer available on the website.[2] The audio of the album was originally recorded at Notaro's regular monthly stand-up show Tig Has Friends at Largo for an episode of the radio show This American Life. Notaro did not want to put out the album at first, but C.K. convinced her to release it.
