'There is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt
herself.' Hannah Gadsby, Nanette Multi-awardwinning Hannah Gadsby
transformed comedy with her show Nanette, even as she declared that
she was quitting stand-up. Now, she takes us through the defining
moments in her life that led to the creation of Nanette and her
powerful decision to tell the truth - no matter the cost. Gadsby's
unique stand-up special Nanette was a viral success that left
audiences captivated by her blistering honesty and her ability to
create both tension and laughter in a single moment. But while her
worldwide fame might have looked like an overnight sensation, her
path from open mic to the global stage was hard-fought and anything
but linear. Ten Steps to Nanette traces Gadsby's growth as a queer
person from Tasmania - where homosexuality was illegal until 1997 -
to her ever-evolving relationship with comedy, to her struggle with
adult diagnoses of autism and ADHD, and finally to the backbone of
Nanette - the renouncement of self-deprecation, the rejection of
misogyny, and the moral significance of truth-telling. Equal parts
harrowing and hilarious, Ten Steps to Nanette continues Gadsby's
tradition of confounding expectations and norms, properly
introducing us to one of the most explosive, formative voices of
our time.
