Gadsby is no everywoman, her worldview is entirely her own. That's why she stands out, at once fiercely and quietly, like a tiny, perfect lion. Go to Full Review Michael Idato Sydney Morning Herald May 29, 2020
This is an uneasy dance between artist and audience. It's challenging. It is funny, and truly hilarious at times. But it's also going to kick you in the guts when you least expect it Go to Full Review Jason Zinoman New York Times May 28, 2020
"Douglas" is a surprisingly slick, joke-dense show, running hot then cold and even chilly, periodically pausing to meditate on its changing temperature. Go to Full Review Michael Cuby them. Oct 3, 2022
From its first moments, Gadsby makes it clear that she’s a comedian who knows enough about the art of stand-up to continuously flip it on its head, again and again. Go to Full Review Daisy Leigh-Phippard Screen Queens Feb 21, 2022
So how can a show that touches on all this darkness make your belly hurt from laughing? Its because acknowledging the bad things and saying the jokes next to each other admit that both can coexist. Go to Full Review Elle Hunt NME (New Musical Express) Jul 8, 2021

A funny yet frustrating encore...after vowing to quit stand-up forever in her breakthrough show, Hannah Gadsby returns on playful and defensive form. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Otto M @RT65276595 May 20, 2025 I watched this immediately after Nanette in the pursuit of not going to bed crying, and it delivered. Douglas may not be for everyone, but Gadsby's style of humor and presentation had me in stitches! See more rrtodd95 T @RT50571363 Jan 22, 2025 I honestly don't know how anyone can laugh at this. It's depressing. The jokes make Bob Saget on America's Funniest Home Video's seem funny. This is the kind of humour woke people that want everything they don't agree with cancelled like. Truly awful. See more Katie D @WickedPineapple Aug 18, 2023 Her story about her teacher and the box/penguin made me laugh so hard I cried the first time I watched it. See more David F @dfulmer May 18, 2023 This funny special has some of the meta scaffolding and trendy postmodernism of ‘Nanette'. It's also really funny. See more Song M @RT58646777 Jan 10, 2023 She needs therapy. Seriously, she needs therapy... The whole show doesn't belong on tv but behind the door of a therapy session. See more Jul 9, 2022 Well, she keeps too be unfunny. No more comments necessary. See more Read all reviews
