2017 Edinburgh Fringe
Hannah Gadsby - Nanette
Winner: 2017 Best Show, Melbourne International Comedy Festival. 'Hello, I have another show for you. It's inspired by a woman called Nanette. Although we didn't exchange a single word or even a glance, Nanette has changed my life. She hasn't, but she did prompt me to think about some things, and those things I thought have become this show.' Hannah has embraced solitude, determined to see what harvest comes from nurturing her life, and what a strange little harvest it is. 'Warmth, candour, intelligence and so many, many laughs' ***** (Scotsman). A show for proper adults.

British Comedy Guide, 26th August 2017Why Fringe comics don't care about May, Trump & Brexit
In a sweaty Edinburgh cellar a bearded young comedian is telling us about the joys of deciding to stop being left-wing for a while. It is, we assume,
a joke. After all, the comedian concerned, Fin Taylor, spent his previous Edinburgh hour, Whitey McWhiteface, lecturing us about the woes of white privilege, albeit while owning up to being one of its beneficiaries. This is just another ironic pose, right, the precursor to some dismissive material about the usual baddies - Brexit, May and Trump?
