Navigating Historic Homophobia and Comedy Evolution

Back in 2018, a standup special called Nanette turned the world of comedy on its head. It was written and performed by a relatively unknown comic at the time named Hannah Gadsby. Ever since that special came out, Tom Power has hoped he’d get the chance to speak with Hannah. Now, that time has finally come. In a rare Canadian interview, she told Tom all about her new memoir, Ten Steps to Nanette, and how growing up queer and neurodivergent in rural Tasmania shaped her comedic voice.
