Not a sequel to Nanette, but a consistently funny standup special for those who like Gadsby’s style of humour
Nanette was obviously a huge deal when it came out- I remember the hype and a family member eventually convincing me to watch it, but to go in knowing as little as possible. I’m glad I followed that advice, because it was a very surprising stand-up performance; in a good way, of course. The people who criticise it for not being consistently funny are technically right, but it had a whole lot more to offer, and its power came from the fact that it wasn’t obviously heading in the direction that it did go in.Following up one of the best Netflix standup specials (I’d say if not for Bo Burnham’s Make Happy and What, Nanette would be the best standup special produced by the platform) wouldn’t have been easy, but I really liked Gadsby’s approach here. She gets quite meta right off the bat, and the direct delivery makes sense when it becomes apparent quite early on that the show is going to be at least partly about her experiences with autism. It’s interesting and eye-opening without being as heavy as the themes touched upon in Nanette.
That last point is both a strength and maybe a weakness, which is acknowledged as much by Gadsby in her opening breakdown of the proceeding routine, stating that she “used up” most of her trauma in Nanette, in a way. As a result, Douglas contains more laughs but probably won’t stick with viewers quite as much as her first special.
I’d ultimately say they’re both very strong though, just in their own ways. If anything, this proves Gadsby is far from a one-trick pony, and doesn’t need to rely on pulling the same genius move she did in Nanette by going from standup comedy to borderline standup tragedy, which would be a whole lot less genius if repeated. The reliance on humour shouldn’t suggest that the show is too much weaker though, because Gadsby has a unique and genuinely funny way of talking about things, which really makes her stand out from the crowd of comedians using Netflix as their primary platform.
(It’s also cool to see someone from Australia make it big in the standup world, but that’s just a person bias on my end due to also being Australian.)
More Lecture than Comedy Show
Not liking this isn’t a declaration of my politics; it’s a subjective look at humor, the most subjective art form there is. This just wasn’t funny for me and that has nothing to do with my views on the world. I certainly wasn’t offended or shocked or reduced to an indignant pile of bigotry.I thought I’d give Hannah Gadsby another try. HG is someone you will either like or who will bore you to tears. You will enjoy being lectured to for an hour, or don’t need a lecture, and some of us really, really don’t need a lecture. I count myself among those who don’t need to be set straight on sexual politics, pardon the word choice.
Americans are stupid because we say “gas” instead of “petrol” because petrol is a liquid and gas isn’t, except “gas” is short for “gasoline,” I wanted to scream. The whole bit on language differences between Americans and Australians was tired and devoid of a single moment of humor.
It didn’t sound like HD made the audience laugh, although they mostly applauded on cue at every beleaguered point about sexual politics, which they all seemed to be in lock-step with, as if they had read a rule book on how to act before the show. It reminded me of the audience at a classical music concert who know not to clap until the end of the movement.
I think she’s quite good as a performer, something I appreciated more in this comedy special than in Nanette.
Hannah Gadsby being offended just isn’t my idea of humor, and she seems to relish being offended, being offended is her prime form of entertainment. She’s offended by some guy who vomits out the tired thing about smiling takes less work than frowning. Why wold anyone let this but of harmless stupidity bother them or take it personally?
