Hannah Gadsby: Nanette

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.

Imagine you go to a restaurant to eat out and instead of bringing you food the waitress comes out and tells you she was raped and hates men. It's interesting but it's not really what you were looking for. This is not comedic stand up, it's a one person show. If it was marketed that way it would be fine. If you are going to see a one person show then you know you are in for watching a self involved person baring their pain and resulting skewed hate that they rebrand as moral philosophy, and you can mentally prepare for that, and it's interesting because it's people watching at its best. But if you're expecting comedy and you get this, it's a bummer and annoying. So my review is it's a bummer and annoying.

Comedian / Public Speaker, you have the best of both worlds with Hannah. Just be warned that you're not going to come out of this without something to think about. If you want to remain brain dead like some of those men she names in the show then you may want to watch something else instead. If you want to be enlightened, I highly recommend it! Thank you Hannah for telling your story and giving us the motivation to make tomorrow a better place.

I had never heard of Hannah Gadsby before so this was a pretty random choice. A happy choice.

I'll give you some context: I have a fairly busy life, with two children under five, a job and a half, a boyfriend and a divorce in progress. I had not had a night alone in a long time, and, let me tell you: I was excited about MY time alone in MY house. Hannah was the perfect date for the occasion.

I also identify with "tired". Other than that I am an heterosexual white woman in her prime. This should be irrelevant but reading the other comments seems necessary to mention, because NO, this content does not appeal only to a particular community as some want you to believe. I am a woman, but the male attention I received throughout life, being heterosexual, feminine, said attractive, was quite different from Hannah's experience. One experience does not invalidate the other.

This content is about connection and Hannah makes us feel connected.

There is a less colorful community in which Hannah and I are together. I'm also a funny person, and I've been using humor all my life to deal with my frailties. It's something that has been in my mind lately, the need to be vulnerable to create real connections, something I struggle to achieve, I'm still working on it sitting in my world protected with walls of jokes that I'm not yet ready to knock over. and so I bow before Hannah Gadsby because, wow, this was bold and brave and we, from this other community, needed it. Thank you Hannah.

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.
