Hannah Gadsby is a remarkable comedian, not least because they’re unafraid of pushing the boundaries of what comedy actually is. Or, you know, just doing something a little different with the form in a hugely impactful way.
‘It’s just not funny,’ some fog-horned, as if comedy were something to be policed, confirming strict rules that cannot be challenged, confined within barbed wire walls lest a shred of originality break free. It was particularly odd, because Gadsby is far from the first comedian to tackle pain, loss, anger, darkness and despair. Seriously, the tears of a clown is a whole thing.
