Hot off the the success of her hit "Nanette," Aussie comic Hannah Gadsby returns to the NY stage with her latest show. More…
From the show:
After the heartbreak humour of *Nanette* and its beat-perfect delivery, *Douglas* feels like one of Hannah Gadsby’s trademark “thought orgies,” vaulting precariously from thought to thought, from one needling idea to another, from wordplay to droll wordplay. Douglas is part lecture, part stand-up and part tongue-in-cheek tirade.
