    Tig Notaro's infamous 2012 stand-up set at Largo proved that cancer, like anything else, can be funny. Yes, it can. Yes, it can. If you disagree, cool. But you're wrong. That's like saying "broccoli doesn't taste good." Maybe not to you, but to someone, broccoli is delicious. Comedy is subjective, and a joke based on any topic or situation, no matter how horrible or distasteful to you, has the potential be funny to someone. Maybe not you. That's fine. But someone. Trying to apply a "cancer isn't funny" rule is preposterous, conceited, and futile.Okay, here's my opinion of the show, if you care. The second season was weaker than the first. Plot lines started to feel splintered and diverged from the main character's story. Common pitfall of many second season shows. I guess this was more of a rebuttal to another reviewer than a straightforward helpful review. Hope it doesn't keep you up at night.Insomnia isn't funny.

    The show is well done but rather sad, as I like to say"if I want to deal with reality I will go out the door"But if you like this type of show it is worth watching. One thing I do get tired of hearing is said by a previous review in that anybody who doesn't like it needs to grow a brain ,how sad we are not allowed in this day and age to have conflicting views without being called stupid by the self righteous.

    I have never laughed at anything Tig has done and while I appreciated the years of the comedy through the cancer as I have had cancer, I still did not laugh or come close. I think there must be fans out there obviously! But I don't know them, I have never met them, and being in the gay community I think that's odd. So maybe there's just fans of this work I have somehow not come across yet? Anyhow, never laughed, and probably never will. Sorry? Just not for me. Never will be I can tell because I really need to laugh so I moved on.

    I can tell what the production intends to do. Trying to shock audience and added some gentle comedy. For me it is just not funny, not touched, even a little annoying and uncomfortable for me. The story is also slow, I am sure if you miss many episodes, you still would catch up the story. Actually there is no story at all, the whole show just describes the awkward and unpleasant situation by the unreal conversation and annoying scene.I can tell what the production intends to do.
