Hannah Gadsby: Douglas

"A follow-up to the startling and divisive “Nanette” is just as startling and probably just as divisive."

"A rich and entertaining show from Gadsby, one that achieves the impressive feat of both living up to Nanette and moving on from it"

"Douglas is more low-key, a little more fizzy and “easier” to experience though Gadsby still engages in “gentle needling” of the patriarchy. This is less confessional, more conventional."

"A consistently hilarious crowd-pleaser."

"Watching “Douglas” onscreen (as opposed to, perhaps, being in the audience as it happens) has a somewhat distancing effect: Gadsby tends, more than ever, to generate more powerful applause lines than audience laughs, and to generate admiration more from her ability to plainly state her beliefs than through the comic sleight-of-hand at which she’s adept."

"A challenging show, but even when Gadsby isn’t funny, she’s always clever."
