The Denver Post reported yesterday that Tig Notaro—who made comedy history on Thursday night in NYC when she responded to a cat-call by defiantly performing 20 minutes of her set shirtless—has been hospitalized and has had to cancel two stops on her “Boyish Girl, Interrupted Tour.” As of right now, her show in Portland Wednesday night has not been canceled. Here’s the Denver Post:
Comedian Tig Notaro’s Nov. 9 headlining show at the Paramount Theatre has been canceled due to a medical emergency, promoter AEG Live Rocky Mountains announced this morning.
Notaro, a former Denver resident, was set to perform at the theater in downtown Denver with Andrea Gibson and Andrew Orvedahl.
But Notaro “is dealing with a medical emergency and is being hospitalized,” according to an AEG Live news release. “She will be all right but has to cancel the show tonight.”
It was not stated where Notaro has been hospitalized. Calls and e-mails to Notaro’s publicist were not returned as of mid-morning Sunday.
Anyone who’s followed Notaro’s career knows that she’s had a history of medical problems, including breast cancer and the invasive bacterial infection C. diff. Here’s hoping she recovers soon.
