Hannah Gadsby is set to return to Netflix on May 26 with her new comedy special Douglas.
Douglas comes two years after Gadsby released her genre-breaking special Nanette, in which she challenged the very nature of stand-up comedy by going beyond the tension and resolution (punchline) to introduce a third act in catharsis.
Gadsby announced the premiere date of Douglas on Twitter via video.
I'm excited for you to see it. It's going to be good, unless you don't like it. Then it's still going to be good, and you'll be wrong," the Australian comic said in the clip.
As per the Netflix synopsis, the new special from the Emmy and Peabody winner is named after her dog who she took for a walk across the planet, finishing up in Los Angeles, and recording her second stand-up special. You can expect your expectations to be set and met by Douglas: a tour from the dog park to the renaissance and back guided by one of comedy's most sparkling and surprising minds.
Gadsby has been touring the Douglas stand-up show since April 2019.
