For a show that was intended as a swan song, Hannah Gadsby’s Nanette has gone from strength to strength, winning the Barry Award for best show at the 2017 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Best Comedy at the Adelaide Fringe and the Edinburgh Comedy Award (shared with John Robins). Now Nanette is all set to be streamed on Netflix, filmed at the Sydney Opera House.

In addition to the Netflix special, Hannah is also writing a book inspired by the show, Ten Steps to Nanette, which is due for release in June 2018.

Hannah will be performing Nanette for the last time at Soho Theatre, London for a month long residency from Monday 5th February.
