• Stand-up comic Tig Notaro shocked an audience in L.A. Friday night by disclosing, in a heart-breaking and life-affirming set, that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Louis C.K., who performed after Notaro, tweeted the next morning: "In 27 years doing this, I've seen a handful of truly great, masterful standup sets. One was Tig Notaro last night at Largo."

• Shocking the audience in a different way, "king of roasts" Jeffrey Ross stretched the envelope of "too soon" at the taping of Comedy Central's roast of Roseanne Barr – dressing as late Penn State coach Joe Paterno, and making jokes about the Aurora theater shooting. [Entertainment Weekly]
