Hello, Stue here. This isn't an ad. This is me telling you that you have got to get hold of a copy of Adam Blooms book, Finding Your Comic Genius. It's just so great, and I want everyone to buy it for everyone else for Christmas. We discuss it in detail on episode 437 and at the time of recording this it has 66 5-star reviews out of 66 reviews on Amazon.

So go and find Adam Bloom's book, Repeat. This is not an ad and I'm not

being remunerated. Or remunerated. I can never get that right.

This is a podcast from comedians comedian.com. This is the Comedians, comedian pod-

Hello there, I'm Stuart Goldsmith.

Welcome to the show.

Today I'm live at the Melbourne International

Comedy Festival speaking with Hannah Gatsby, a brilliant act, a phenomenal joke writer

and a very very powerful comedian performing a show here at the moment which is also

taking to Edinburgh called Nanette. I think there's a lot of buzz about this show

it's it's an extraordinary piece of work I'll tell you a bit more about it as we get

into the interview. We talk

about some very sensitive subjects here and I think I had been not warned exactly. People had

said to me before this recording that I would have my work cut out

for me with Hannah. I really enjoyed this interview. I'm very grateful to her and to

Erin her manager for sorting this out. So I think this ended up a really fascinating conversation. I think it takes me a little

bit of time to get into the swing of it at the beginning and you will hear that happen as you as you listen on but if

you're a fit if you're the first few minutes in and you're finding it as

slightly tricks you one stick with it I think she's an excellent comic and I'm really proud of this interview.

So this is the wonderful Hannah Gansby. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome an absolute powerhouse among comedians.

Give it up for Hannah Gadsby. Thank you so much for coming on the show, Hannah.

A pleasure.
