Okay. Hannah Gadsby is an Australian Comedienne. And for the first fifteen minutes of the show, she does a comedy routine. Standard fare.
But then she admits her comedy is kind of toxic to her well being and then goes on to deconstruct how comedy works and why it is sort of bad for her.
She talks about some painful experiences in her past, particularly coming out to her parents and being Gay in Tasmania when it was still illegal to be Gay in Tasmania. Some of it is hard to watch, especially if you are going in hoping for some funny. But it is also an interesting perspective on her life and how she has handled her situation.
And there is some very funny bits. SPOILER My favorite line when she talks about how she identifies in the LGBT community is that she identifies as tired END SPOILER
So, it's good. But difficult.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
