Features of Ten Steps to Nanette PDF

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Multi-award-winning Hannah Gadsby broke comedy with her show Nanette when she declared that she was quitting stand-up. Now she takes us through the defining moments in her life that led to the creation of Nanette and her powerful decision to tell the truth—no matter the cost.Ten Steps to Nanette PDF

“Hannah is a Promethean force, a revolutionary talent. This hilarious, touching, and sometimes tragic book is all about where her fires were lit.”—Emma Thompson

ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022—Entertainment Weekly, PopSugar

“There is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself,” Hannah Gadsby declared in her show Nanette, a scorching critique of the way society conducts public debates about marginalized communities. When it premiered on Netflix, it left audiences captivated by her blistering honesty and her singular ability to take them from rolling laughter to devastated silence. Ten Steps to Nanette continues Gadsby’s tradition of confounding expectations and norms, properly introducing us to one of the most explosive, formative voices of our time.

Gadsby grew up as the youngest of five children in an isolated town in Tasmania, where homosexuality was illegal until 1997. She perceived her childhood as safe and “normal,” but as she gained an awareness of her burgeoning queerness, the outside world began to undermine the “vulnerably thin veneer” of her existence. After moving to mainland Australia and receiving a degree in art history, Gadsby found herself adrift, working itinerant jobs and enduring years of isolation punctuated by homophobic and sexual violence. At age twenty-seven, without a home or the ability to imagine her own future, she was urged by a friend to enter a stand-up competition. She won, and so began her career in comedy.

Gadsby became well known for her self-deprecating, autobiographical humor that made her the butt of her own jokes. But in 2015, as Australia debated the legality of same-sex marriage, Gadsby started to question this mode of storytelling, beginning work on a show that would become “the most-talked-about, written-about, shared-about comedy act in years” (The New York Times).

Harrowing and hilarious, Ten Steps to Nanette traces Gadsby’s growth as a queer person, to her ever-evolving relationship with comedy, and her struggle with late-in-life diagnoses of autism and ADHD, finally arriving at the backbone of Nanette: the renouncement of self-deprecation, the rejection of misogyny, and the moral significance of truth-telling.

The Authors

Hannah Gadsby stopped stand-up comedy in its tracks with her multi-award-winning show Nanette, which played to sold-out houses in Australia, the UK, and New York. Its launch on Netflix, and subsequent Emmy and Peabody wins, took Nanette (and Hannah) to the world. Hannah’s difficult second album (which was also her eleventh solo show) was named Douglas, after her dog. Hannah walked Douglas around the world, selling out and scoring another Emmy nomination. Before all of this, Hannah appeared as a character called Hannah in Please Like Me (Hulu) and toured her native Australia and the UK as a stand-up comedian. She made art documentaries and did plenty of other things over the course of more than a decade in comedy, but that will do for now.

No Photos–Still Completely Worthwhile

April 9, 2022

First, the criticism–there are no pictures in this book. Maybe I sound like a child but I would really have loved to see photos of Tasmania, Hannah and her siblings as kids, etc. I love to see!!! So, I do feel a little cheated on that score. I’m not sure what to say about this book because I think it hits you differently depending on your experiences in life. I know that a lot of people relate to Gadsby because she is gay but I am straight and I relate to her on many levels, being a woman, dealing with depression and anxiety, having ADHD, being on the spectrum–at some points it felt like my story–I did not get my life changing diagnosis until later in life, like Gadsby, and it was a huge relief and help to know what was going on with me and how to deal. If you have dealt with any of the above and/or have trauma and shame this may be the book for you–or it may not, if it will bring up upsetting memories. She covers the Nanette controversy–which I don’t really understand. I watched Nanette and was riveted. I thought it was amazing but I didn’t give much thought to whether or not it was comedy. It was just brilliant and that was enough for me. I didn’t find it a particularly funny book-although I did laugh out loud a few times. It may have been a hilarious book but I was so focused on the more serious parts that I missed some humor. That can happen with me. I read this book in 3 days, so engrossed was I, and I do not recommend taking it in at that speed–especially if you have trauma. I wouldn’t say the book triggered me–Gadsby does give a trigger warning–but it did make me ruminate at length about my problematic childhood. That isn’t a bad thing, necessarily, but it was a bit painful. I really appreciated how Gadsby went into the laws against homosexuality and the legalized homophobia in Tasmania–she gives updates throughout the book, on how Tasmania eventually changed its laws regarding homosexuality but you can only imagine how destructive and demoralizing it must have been to grow up in that bigoted environment–regardless of your sexuality. I am especially grateful that Gadsby included this because , of course, in America the republicans are trying to bring back those cruel, inhumane laws. One last thing!! I accidentally watched a video wherein a couple of…men, I guess you’d say, were putting Gadsby down–but in a subtle way–until one said that due to Gadsby’s “neurodiversity” she “doesn’t know what is going on”. If it hadn’t made me so angry I would have laughed because if there is anyone who knows EXACTLY what is going on, it’s Hannah Gadsby. Also, this IS the last thing–I watched `Nannette’ and `Douglas’ on Netflix before I canceled my Netflix account because they support Dave Chappelle–so now I can’t watch Gadsby except clips on youtube.com. That seems somehow wrong…
