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.
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.
This is the strongest anti-comedy show I have ever seen!
I did not expect to go through this kind of range of emotions.
What an incredible performance by Hannah Gadsby!
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.
