Hannah Gadsby: Douglas
The witty Aussie comedian is back with a new show named after her favourite four-legged friend.
Overview
It seems a pretty hard task to follow Hannah Gadsby's international smash-hit show, Nanette. After all, the one-woman stand-up performance copped serious praise on its 18-month travels across Australia and the UK, even scooping the top honours at both the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It also spawned its very own Netflix special. And when Gadsby used the show to announce she was quitting comedy for good, we thought that was it.
But indeed, the beloved Aussie comedian is set to give the follow-up a red hot crack when she returns to the stand-up stage with her latest work, Douglas, named after her own pet pooch. While Nanette pulled apart the concept of comedy itself, dishing up an insight into Gadsby's past, Douglas promises to deliver a serve of "very new ideas", collected during her recent travels around the planet.
This show will mark Gadsby's first-ever US tour, though she'll be hitting up the Arts Centre first, for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, before returning to Australia in December for five nights of performances at the Sydney Opera House from 17–21.
Hannah Gadsby: Douglas tickets will go on sale at 9am on Friday, March 29. You can sign-up for pre-sale access here.
