(CNN) Tig Notaro has no reservations about serving up deeply personal comedy in her inspired-by-real-life Amazon series "One Mississippi." For that reason, it's easy to feel like you know the comedian well. "The funny response to 'One Mississippi' continues to be that people don't know what is true and what's fiction," Notaro told CNN in a recent interview. She has artfully -- and with humor -- explored experiences ranging from awkward airport screenings to surviving breast cancer and grief in her stand-up and on "One Mississippi." Other details in "One Mississippi's" six-episode first season were created in the writers' room, but the show is still rooted in its star's candor and willing-to-bare-it-all approach.
