The first half of Nanette falls more within the boundaries of a traditional special, with jokes about identity and growing up “a little bit lesbian” in conservative Tasmania. But midway through, Hannah Gadsby starts methodically dissecting how comedy works to explain why she needs to quit stand-up altogether. In her first Netflix hour, released last month, Australian Gadsby delivers both sharp setups and punchlines, and a searing indictment of comedy itself.
