Hannah Gadsby: Nanette

It starts off a stand up special but takes a turn for the serious. Hannah is a strong and powerful woman, weaving the through comedy, women's issues, lgbqti issues and modern art. Don't expect to laugh the whole way through but you will walk away feeling feelings.

The most intelligent, thought provoking, funny, angry, heart wrenching, truthful, historically political and important comedy program I have ever seen.

An amazing artists puts it all out there like it's never been put out there before. Truthful, angry and in your face and literally laying her soul bare. I have never seen anything more powerful. She made me laugh and cry.

Hannah could be the voice of political satire, or just an amazing political figure or anything else she chooses.

Thanks for not being self depreciating!!!!!!! You raised the bar of what comedy is allowed to be and what it can do!!!!!!!

A wonderful show about comedy and about jokes. But it is not comedy and it is not jokes. And that's not an insult! It's a beautiful and moving performance but we should take it for what it is and appreciate that Ms Gadsby is doing her OWN, more difficult to categorize thing. Putting her in the same category as, I dunno, Ali Wong, is a disservice for them both.

I would have gladly given this a higher rating if was properly placed in the genre to which it belongs.

As a humanities lecture with some forgettable humor tossed in, it's outstanding. As a character study of a severely broken woman it's fascinating. As a standup comedy show it's a dismal failure. Her material includes competent but hardly memorable jokes that go on for way too long.. Her ramblings about men didn't offend me -do people think this is the first time our gender has heard any of this? It's hardly the groundbreaking work it pretends to be.

I've noticed some unfortunate things from reading the reviews on this, though. If you're only mildly entertained by dull, razor thin feminist baiting tripe you're some sort of incel. Women aren't above criticism, and if you're going to touch on this subject you don't get to call anyone who disagrees with you a misogynist and leave it that. It's too simplistic. And it takes away all accountability for your failure to entertain.

The message I took away from this was unfortunate - men want comedy (most of the top tier comedians are male), women want validation. And that's truly a sad, cynical attitude to walk away with. She makes a better public speaker preaching to the choir because, as a comedian, she does little to dispel the tired stereotype that women aren't funny.

Thank God for Kathleen Madigan.

I expected to laugh and I did, very much. I didn't expect to be so moved. This Story is important. I am so grateful that she had the strength to say everything that she did. I really needed to hear it and I think the world does too.
