I am also exactly who this special is for. For Gadsby's fury is directed at people like me with laser-like acumen, humor and sobering grace.
You can believe this was a show that existed only in this moment and you feel elevated from being a part of it.
Gadsby explains how comedy works, how tension is broken to bring relief. By the end, there is no relief for the audience. But perhaps there is some for Gadsby. After years of telling jokes, she is finally telling her story.
When you take the anti-irony train all the way to the end of the line, one place you can end up is Nanette.
The laughs of her show are a means to an end, which is, at its core, a ferocious attack on comedy itself.
She offers an alternative to privilege and hate that is so simple, so beautiful and so right, it shimmers.
