See it if You’re not afraid to take a good honest look at yourself, your surroundings, habits and country...all with whip smart, sharp comedy.

Don't see it if You like your comedy served up cotton candy fluffy. This is probably going to sting and depending who you are maybe more than once-worth it!

Also If you’ve seen Hannah Gadsby’s Nanette on Netflix you’ve got an idea of what’s in store. This show is “a little” less intense but no less of an education. I absolutely ADORE her! I laughed HARD for two hours yet feel like I walked away with a profoundly deeper understanding of the human condition. It was a phone free performance which I GREATLY appreciate! I met a marvelous woman from Albany that sat next to me who was there to see the show for the second time. She shared stories that only made Hannah’s stand up more real and powerful and I loved every moment of this experience (plus it was my birthday!).... Read more Read less

See it if A self reflective journey in her life. This is a magnificent performance. Funny and poignant.

Don't see it if If you do not like shows where a person reflects on their life. A bigger production.

See it if fan of Goldsby's "Nanette" or other acting, interest in seeing an artist with Autism, enjoy kooky but intelligent humor, & Australian humor

Don't see it if don't like unstructured, stand-up type shows, Some Australian words confuse you, not a fan of quirky humor or slightly uncomfortable stories

See it if you value understanding the world as experienced though the alternative lens of autism. Learn to appreciate order & solitude with humor

Don't see it if you are expecting a play - this is standup and story telling with an educational intent.

See it if Reluctant, self-deprecating, even fragile Aussie's refreshing voice who uncannily layers and then circles back to payoff a forgotten set-up.

Don't see it if This time out, she's moved on from trauma's "Nanette" She's clearly stoked by her mission, but seems she'd really rather be somewhere else.

Also Taint-ed title = clinical term for femme body part discovered by a man.... Read more Read less

See it if you loved Nanette or her TED Talk.She is brilliant, entertaining, important.She tells truth to power.Sometimes uncomfortable,but it matters

Don't see it if you are offended by frank,raw talk.This show is seriously important.You'll laugh your butt off, be challenged and moved.

See it if an hilarious solo female show, always thought-provoking but with some moving moments; stand-up comedy but much, much more including art hist

Don't see it if don't like solo shows, don't want frank discussion of autism (?), only want art history 101 as taught by white males, uncomfortable with *

Also *very, funny discussion of sex parts or don't want the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or where's Waldo criticized... Read more Read less

See it if you enjoyed Hannah Gadsby’s Nanette. She brings that same brutal yet affecting power of observation to this show.

Don't see it if you do not want to have your eyes opened to the realities of misogyny, homophobia, toxic masculinity, etc., and to laugh while learning.

Also Hannah Gadsby is a treasure and this world is fortunate to have the value of her heart, her humor, and her uncanny insight into humanity.... Read more Read less

See it if you want a take on gender and the patriarchy delivered through art history with side jaunts with dogs and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Don't see it if you're expecting exactly the same as Nanette. It's complex and complicated and deeply personal but not as squarely focused on trauma.

Also Hannah Gadsby is a gift to humanity.

See it if Perhaps less focused than Nanette,but just as much as pathos (or reality check). Unapologetic and funny. Quite a lesson in art history.

Don't see it if Anti-vaxx, pro-parternalism, pro-misogyny, anti-fanny packs ...

See it if you like to laugh/like intelligent conversation.

Don't see it if you are an anti-vaxer.

Also the intricacy of the foundation Gadsby builds in order to end the show with dozens of call-backs is absolutely astounding.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see a brilliant stand-up comedian deliver a funny and provocative set.

Don't see it if you don't want to see a thought-provoking stand-up act.

See it if you appreciate intelligent comedy and enjoy hearing new voices and perspectives. Hannah is articulate, brilliant and provocative.

Don't see it if You are close=minded and conservative.

See it if you like humor mixed with message; you are excited to give up your cell phone for 90 minutes

Don't see it if you're uninterested in queerness, neurodiversity, and comedy

See it if You enjoyed 'Nanette' and like quirky humor. You want a different stand up show that tackles current issues (i.e. patriarchy)

Don't see it if You hated Nanette, want a stand up show that is all jokes and no substance. Get uncomfortable when talking about sexuality, anti-vax, autism

Also I absolutely love Hannah Gadsby, ever since Nanette i was interested in her style and humor. She does not disappoint in this show, she is funny, educational, humble and unapologetic. As she says so herself, this show has less 'trauma' than Nanette, but still heartwarming.... Read more Read less

See it if you enjoyed Nanette and you want to see an even better show with an individual who is at the peak of their game.

Don't see it if you are a misogynist or anti-vaxxer.

See it if you can get a ticket

Don't see it if you only want a retread of Nanette - new material here.

Also One of the best writer-performers I've seen. The show is a little uneven - there were moments when I hoped she would dig a little deeper into a subject she'd thrown out there (e.g. standards of beauty, and who sets them.) But seeing Gadsby perform is like being at a really spectacular fireworks display - most of the time you are just so dazzled and delighted by the sheer brilliance and the nonstop bang-bang-bang of her wit and her erudition that you don't care if one or two of the rockets don't fly as high as the rest. Her setup was one of the canniest bits of writing I've ever seen - she actually told the audience exactly what she was going to do, and in what order, as if reading us a table of contents, and then proceeded to do it, and we ate it up. Her finale relied strongly on her art history background, and it was every bit as sensational as the Fourth of July on the East River. And did I mention she is still funny as hell?... Read more Read less

See it if you're already a fan, you're ok with a bracing dose of lesbian anger, you're ok with comics taking on serious stuff

Don't see it if you're offended by LGBT themes, if you don't like comedy that makes you think, you're part of the patriarchy that can't take a joke

Also It's a much lighter show than Nanette was but no less divisive (see The New Yorker review). It's good to see that she's moved past some of that trauma and seems to be having a hell of a good time performing this show. Some of it is very, very funny but she still takes a dark turn towards the end that may not have been fully earned. It would be nice to see her do a show that's wall to wall laughs because she can be so, so funny. Expectations are weird on both sides I guess. Did we all go wanting to hear her unpack her latest bad news? Did she feel obliged to provide some? It's the only part of the show that didn't ring true. Still, I'd see it again and will watch it on Netflix for sure. Worth the time and investment. She's one of a kind.... Read more Read less

See it if you want comedy with purpose.

Don't see it if you don't like women comics?

Also Hannah Gadsby's follow up to Nanette is brilliant and hilarious. Like Nanette, it's part stand-up, part one-woman show. It's intelligent and expertly crafted.

Unlike Nanette, it's not about trauma. There are emotionally affecting parts, but it doesn't leave you cowering in a ball like Nanette did (or, at least, did to me).

It's also delightfully funny. I was laughing so much at the end that my eyes were tearing up.

Hannah Gadsby is a genius and I cannot wait to see what she does next.... Read more Read less

See it if You like to laugh

Don't see it if you hated nanette, but why would you

See it if I love Hannah Gadsbury. Her use of humor to put perspective. I love her use of self deprecation to make her points.

Don't see it if If your a crumudgeon.

See it if You want an intelligent, genre-stretching take on stand-up. A balance of real life, pain and comedy. Hannah Gadsby is a gift.

Don't see it if You need to be attached to your cellphone since they seal it (bring a book or talk to your neighbor). It's not a repeat of Nanette.
