Hannah Gadsby didn’t care about making a successful standup special, but success came anyway

Australian comedian Hannah Gadsby discusses her groundbreaking stand-up special 'Nanette', her new memoir 'Ten Steps to Nanette', and her experiences growing up queer and neurodivergent in rural Tasmania. She reflects on the emotional journey of writing a memoir, balancing tension in storytelling, childhood game dynamics, developing a sense of humor, anti-gay measures in Tasmania, and navigating historic homophobia in comedy evolution. The interview also includes fun banter about food, names, sad songs, childhood memories, folk music, and social media promotions.
