, Hannah Gadsby announced that she would be stepping away from stand-up comedy. But that was before her special became a sensation with its Netflix premiere last summer, leading to a book deal and prominent appearances onand the Emmy Awards. Having won a Peabody Award and recently received two Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Variety Special , the Australian performer has returned with a new show.
Gadsby continues to redefine the comedy stand-up form with this piece. At the beginning, she daringly deconstructs the show we're about to see, informing us that it will be divided into traditional stand-up, lecture and monologue. She even reveals us some of the subjects in advance, telling us that there will be a Louis C.K. joke but promising that by the time it comes, we'll have forgotten to expect it.
. The observational material, about such things as her disdain for golfers, the silliness of "Where's Waldo?" and the incongruity of Americans using the term "gas" for petroleum, which is, after all, a liquid, is traditional, and funny enough, to be delivered by Jerry Seinfeld. There are also many hilarious one-liners in the "lecture" portion of the show, which involves Renaissance art. It's a subject with which Gadsby is very familiar, having earned a degree in art history, and she comes across here as a satirical professor, projecting classic artworks on a screen and using a laser pointer to enhance her arch commentary.
It's like the great gatsby?
