Lauren Carroll Harris Guardian 08/05/2019
Hannah Gadsby spins her own life story into a clever, raging and confronting spiel against misogyny, homophobia and even the tired old tropes of comedy itself. Go to Full Review
Ashley Hoffman TIME Magazine 11/20/2018
When Gadsby wrenches out her pain on stage, she reveals her strength, rage, and yes, winning humor. Go to Full Review
Hannah Strong Little White Lies 09/24/2018
Gadsby is tired of censoring her own pain for the sake of making audiences feel comfortable. Nanette is a testament to this. It's time to make audiences feel uncomfortable in order to wake them up. Go to Full Review

5/5
The Netflix "comedy special" Nanette is a televised version of Hannah Gadsby's award-winning "stand up" stage show from 2017. It is so eye-opening, personal and encouraging that it feels unfair to squeeze it into a nutshell. Go to Full Review
Angela L. Harmon The NitPic 12/11/2019
Gadsby realized that turning her pain into comedy actually forced her to create a specific narrative of her own life that she repeated night after night until it became her reality. Go to Full Review
Catherine Capellaro Isthmus (Madison, WI) 11/22/2019
Gadsby grabs your attention with jokes and then slowly and expertly peels back layers to reveal a deep well of shame and anger. Go to Full Review

Cameron O @Camdaman 05/17/2025 Not a comedy. Not funny and more a lecture. See more Allison D @RT52412496 05/10/2025 Enjoyed the bold twist in her stand up that, yes, made me tense and uncomfortable at times. Still relevant today unfortunately as we still can't accept how diversity is a strength, and is being brazenly attacked. Bravo Hannah for your courage, and sharing your story. I will say I don't love painting groups of people with a broad brush, men included, how we parse that one I don't know. Very thought provoking. Enjoyed and yes I did laugh. See more Patricia N @Singerar 05/03/2025 I loved this! See, this is why there doesn’t need to have audience reviews when you have such bigotry towards the LGBTQ community giving reviews. It’s very sad to see such a low review towards such a great artist! See more sandy s @RT87388911 02/08/2025 Couldn’t stop crying for the last few minutes which (of course) never experienced in my life with stand-up comedy shows. And.. why not? 야 여기 와서 별점 테러하는 인생들도 애잔하다 진짜 See more rrtodd95 T @RT50571363 01/22/2025 I seriously can't believe anyone reviewed this as 5 stars. If I could give it zero I would. It's like being trapped in a woke Ted talk with the drama teacher from high school who's trying to be "cool" and "hip" and "woke". It's not funny. I found it depressing. See more Ebiere O @RT04697497 01/12/2025 Absolutely hilarious. She has a depth to her that makes her story telling rich. See more Read all reviews
