Amazon announced on Thursday that Hello Again, the newest special from comedian Tig Notaro, will premiere on Prime Video on March 26. Check out a clip above.
Directed by Notaro’s wife, Stephanie Allynne, the special comes on the heels of her HBO hour Tig Notaro: Drawn, which made history as the first fully animated stand-up special in 2021. It’s said to be packed with delightfully awkward misunderstandings, health scares made hilarious, and family moments with her wife and children that are simultaneously sidesplitting and heartwarming.
From the “Make Believe Lounge” to the hallway outside her physical therapist’s office, Notaro finds humor in situations ranging from the everyday to the bizarre, crafting comedy out of hallucinatory text messages, a botched meeting with a Hollywood heavyweight, and a late-night encounter with a mustachioed fireman who has her questioning everything.
Notaro was previously in business with Amazon as the co-creator and star of its semi-autobiographical comedy series One Mississippi, which won a Critics’ Choice Television Award and ran for two seasons. On the acting front, she’s most recently been seen in The Morning Show Season 3, as well as Star Trek: Discovery. Other recent credits include the Netflix pics Your Place or Mine, We Have a Ghost, and Army of the Dead.
Notaro was nominated for a Grammy for Live, a comedy album that saw her grapple in darkly hilarious and cathartic fashion with a diagnosis of bilateral breast cancer, from which she is now in remission. She also recently teamed with Allynne to direct the Sundance rom-com Am I OK?, starring Dakota Johnson and Sonoya Mizuno, which has been slated for release on Max in 2024.

In some ways, it’s been a pretty great 12 months for Ramy Youssef. Last spring he won his first Peabody Award as the co-creator and executive producer of Netflix‘s “Mo” and this winter he could be found on the big screen alongside Emma Stone in the global box office hit and Oscar-nominated “Poor Things.” As an Egyptian-American, however, he’s been vocal about his frustration with the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and, it appears that may partially be the subject matter of his new HBO comedy special, “Ramy Youssef: More Feelings” which dropped its first trailer today.
