Hannah Gadsby's follow-up to Nanette is a funnier show, but not as powerful. Read our review of her new Netflix comedy special.

as much as possible in my review. This new hour, which Gadsby snarkily refers to as her difficult sophomore album while pointing out that it’s her tenth show overall, deserves to be considered on its own merits. Of course I knew at some point I’d have to bring up Gadsby’s first Netflix special, which many thought was the best comedy special of 2018, and which everybody has to agree was the most controversial.

This is a fast-paced, but very controlled bit of business, and proof of how Gadsby is an accomplished master of performance; it has the speed and flow of ‘80s Robin Williams stand-up without the mania or desperation. It’s really good comedy.defused any complaints about “clapter”—the notion that some comedians angle for applause through reaffirming political beliefs rather than actually trying to get laughs—because of how personal, inspired, and inflamed Gadsby was.
