And just when we needed a laugh, too.
Streaming giant Netflix has just released the trailer to Hannah Gadsby: Douglas, the latest comedy special from the titular comic. Gadsby took the world by surprise in 2018 with the release of her comedy special Nanette, even earning an Emmy Award for her work.

Douglas picks up where Nanette left off, with Gadsby discussing her unexpected stardom, and rebutting her critics who felt her last comedy special was more of a lecture than a stand-up set. Gadsby maintains that Nanette dealt with trauma as much as comedy.
“Had I known how wildly popular trauma was going to be in the context of comedy, I might have budgeted my sh*t a bit better,” Gadsby quips in the trailer.
Hannah Gadsby: Douglas comes to Netflix May 26.

Shocker, one of the right wing troll accounts that always defends anti-LGBT bigots doesn’t want to see something by an out and proud comedian.

Though my acting teachers over the years have pounded my southern accent out of me, I still use YA’LL like it’s going out of style, she’s right, it’s very convenient.

Like many, I was caught off-guard by Nanette, and while I am glad I saw it, came away with mixed feelings (and maybe we were supposed to). But she was brilliant in Please Like Me. If you haven’t seen it – find it.

Big fan of Hannah from Please Like Me, but I found Nanette very unpleasant so I will skip this new one, sorry.
