汉纳·盖茨比   

overview

Multi-awardwinning Hannah Gadsby transformed comedy with her show
, even as she declared that she was quitting stand-up. Now, she takes us through the defining moments in her life that led to the creation of
and her powerful decision to tell the truth-no matter the cost.
Gadsby's unique stand-up special
was a viral success that left audiences captivated by her blistering honesty and her ability to create both tension and laughter in a single moment. But while her worldwide fame might have looked like an overnight sensation, her path from open mic to the global stage was hard-fought and anything but linear.
traces Gadsby's growth as a queer person from Tasmania-where homosexuality was illegal until 1997-to her ever-evolving relationship with comedy, to her struggle with late-in-life diagnoses of autism and ADHD, and finally to the backbone of Nanette - the renouncement of self-deprecation, the rejection of misogyny, and the moral significance of truth-telling.
Equal parts harrowing and hilarious,
continues Gadsby's tradition of confounding expectations and norms, properly introducing us to one of the most explosive, formative voices of our time.
