With her multi-award winning show Nanette, Hannah Gadsby revolutionised comedy, despite her announcement that she was giving up stand-up. She now walks us through the pivotal times in her life that gave rise to Nanette and her courageous choice to speak the truth at any costs.
Nothing is more resilient than a damaged woman who has put herself back together. -Nanette, Hannah Gadsby,
With her frank candour and her ability to elicit tension and amusement in the same breath, Gadsby's distinctive stand-up special Nanette became an internet sensation. Although her rapid rise to global prominence may have given the impression that she achieved it all quickly, she had to battle her way from an open mike to the international stage.
Ten Steps to Nanette follows Gadsby's journey from Tasmania, where homosexuality was illegal until 1997, to her ever-changing relationship with comedy, her battle with late-life diagnoses of ADHD and autism, and ultimately, to the core values of Nanette: rejecting misogyny, renunciating self-deprecation, and the moral importance of speaking the truth.
Ten Steps to Nanette, which is in equal measure terrifying and funny, carries on Gadsby's legacy of upending conventions and expectations while introducing us to one of the most influential and incendiary voices of our day.
