Hannah Gadsby
Hannah Gadsby, who was the joint winner of the lastminute.com Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show last year with John Robins is returning this year with a new show about art.
Gadsby had said that she was giving up stand-up after her last show Nanette. This year's show is not stand-up and will be listed in the Theatre section of the forthcoming programme, though we are assured it will be funny. It is a serious Art Lecture about the massive blind spot in the male gaze.
Australian comedian Hannah Gadsby is returning to London in 2018 to perform her award-winning show Nanette at the Soho Theatre.
Gadsby had said that she was giving up stand-up comedy but has decided to do more shows due to the phenomenal demand for tickets for this widely praised, powerful, landmark show.
Hannah Gadsby, the joint winner of this year's lastminute.com Edinburgh Comedy Award with John Robins, is to play a run of shows in London later this year.
Gadsby's must-see show Nanette will be performed at the Soho Theatre from Monday, October 30 to Saturday November 11.
Update 23/8: As was widely expected, Hannah Gadsby was nominated for a lastminute.com Edinburgh Comedy Award today. She has already won a Barry Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival this year. Will there be another trophy to go in the cabinet before she quits comedy as she plans to do?
Australian comedian Hannah Gadsby has picked up another award for her widely acclaimed latest show Nanette.
Gadsby won the Best Comedy Performer prize at the 17th Helpmann Awards in Sydney on Monday night. She has already won the Barry Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
The other nominated acts were Joel Creasey, Nazeem Hussain, Tom Ballard, Aunty Donna and Sammy J.
Australian comedian Hannah Gadsby won the prestigious Barry Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival earlier this year so the Edinburgh Fringe premiere of her latest show Nanette is eagerly anticipated*. Then again it would be eagerly anticipated if it hadn't bagged a gong. Gadsby is a clever, funny, thoughtful, honest stand-up who has been delivering distinctive shows for a number of years now about subjects as diverse as classical art and relationships.
