Hannah Gadsby announces world tour for new show 'Douglas'

Hannah Gadsby‘s acclaimed 2018 show and Netflix special, Nanette, centered about the idea that she was quitting comedy. Which happily, is something she actually has not done. “I don’t have any other skill sets,” she joked in an announcement video on Facebook for her new stand-up show, “Douglas,” which will make its debut with a two-week run in Melbourne, Australia, and will then head to the U.S. in late April for her first tour here. (Not her first US shows, though: Nanette had an off-Broadway run in 2018.) Announced shows include San Francisco, Portland, Denver, Austin, Houston, Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago, Philadelphia, DC, Nashville and Los Angeles.

If you’re wondering, “Douglas” is the name of Hannah’s dog. Hannah says lots more dates are still to be announced (like NYC, hopefully) but her current tour schedule, along with Hannah’s announcement video and a few other videos, is below.
