Hannah Gadsby To Premiere New Live Show In Australia This Year

Following the global success of her critically-acclaimed 2017 special, Nanette, Hannah Gadsby will debut a brand new show in Australia this year. 

Douglas, named after the Tasmanian comic's dog, will premiere in Melbourne this March, with a number of shows confirmed through to early April at Melbourne's Arts Centre. 

Following that run, Gadsby will take the show to the US from April-July with more Australian dates expected to follow. 

The news comes after a huge 2018 for Gadsby, which saw Nanette get picked up by Netflix and become one of the most talked-about shows of the year. 

As well as presenting (and arguably, stealing the show) at last year's Emmys, Gadsby was honoured at the Australian In Film Awards last October and won her first AACTA Award in December, taking out the Best Performance In A Television Comedy category.

Tickets for the Melbourne dates go on sale from 10am on Wednesday 13 February. For more details, click on theGuide or scroll down.
