Nanette - Netflix Trailer
2017 Opening Night Comedy Allstars Supershow
The Big Three Oh!
Since stopping the comedy world in its tracks with their 2018 Netflix special, Nanette, Hannah has managed to stay pretty busy.
They have done two more solo stand up shows which toured the world – playing to sold out houses across the US, Australia and Europe – filling the Sydney Opera House, the Royal Festival Hall, the Kennedy Centre, the London Palladium and the Opera House at BAM.
Douglas launched on Netflix in 2020 and their third Netflix special will launch in 2023 as Something Special.
They also squeezed in hosting a gala at the Montreal Just For Laughs comedy festival, launched a New York Times Best Selling Memoir, Ten Steps To Nanette in more than ten languages and chatted with Colbert and Fallon amongst many others.
In 2023 Hannah will co-curate an exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, featuring works from the Musee Picasso National Paris and works from the Brooklyn Museum’s Feminist Art Collection. This is part of a global celebration marking fifty years since Picasso’s death. Hannah’s views on Picasso and the conflation of misogyny and genius will be on display alongside the works.
Oh, and Hannah won an Emmy for Nanette. They also picked up a Peabody and an AACTA Award. Hannah also won the most outstanding show awards at both the Melbourne Comedy Festival and Edinburgh Fringe.
That feels like enough for now. There will be more to come.
What they have said about Nanette;
“As uproariously funny as it is profoundly furious.” The New Yorker
“The laughs of her show are a means to an end, which is, at its core, a ferocious attack on comedy itself.” The New York Times
“Nanette is the kind of work that leaves you shaken. Not because it’s really funny (it really is), or because it’s equally heartbreaking, but because it finds a fusion of those two modes that’s incandescent.” The Atlantic
On Ten Steps to Nanette;
“Enthralling.” The Washington Post
“For fans of Gadsby, her delivery on the page will delight just as it does on screen.” Time
“Hannah is a Promethean force, a revolutionary talent. This hilarious, touching, and sometimes tragic book is all about where her fires were lit.” Emma Thompson
