Must-see: Hannah Gadsby, Woof!
Six years and two specials after the star-making Nanette, Hannah Gadsby is in town with a new set. Gadsby’s love of dogs is by now well-documented, but while Woof! might be in part be named for their barking, it’s also an onomatopoeic approximation of the noise audiences sometimes make on hearing some of Gadsby’s jokes (those that can’t, for instance, be published here). It’s a show about the contradictions and hypocrisies woven into life, and about Gadsby’s idiosyncratic reactions to these.
