Ten Steps to Nanette: A Memoir Situation
by Hannah Gadsby Author
A performer known for their groundbreaking comedy critiques societal norms and the treatment of marginalized communities, especially in the wake of their acclaimed show. Growing up in a conservative Tasmanian town, they navigated a challenging childhood marked by isolation and violence, which intensified their awareness of their queerness. After a chance win in a stand-up competition, they began a career in comedy that initially relied on self-deprecating humor. However, as public discourse shifted around issues like same-sex marriage, they reevaluated their storytelling approach, leading to a transformative work that renounces self-deprecation and emphasizes truth-telling. This journey is both harrowing and humorous, reflecting their growth and evolving relationship with identity and art.
