I’ve never actually seen ONE MISSISSIPPI yet, but I’ve loved Tig Notaro’s stand-up for awhile now. Especially after her famous cancer set (though I had enjoyed her work before that). What makes her comedy great is how she’s able to take raw pain and despair and turn it into something both relatable and gut-bustingly funny. Though I’m aware her dry and sardonic delivery isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.

Now, having seen the trailer for the semi-autobiographical show (where she plays a radio talk show host in rural Mississippi…hence, the title), I say I’ll probably give it a look. While there are maybe one too many “hicks are dumb” jokes,
it does seem to be light-hearted and doesn’t look to be demonizing them either. Either way, I’m sure it’ll at least be funny.
