Hannah Gadsby's new show Body of Work to premiere in Canberra in July 2021

In 2018 the global sensation and ground-breaking Netflix special Nanette really changed things for Hannah. She won an Emmy and a Peabody.

So, in 2019 she wrote and toured the critically acclaimed Douglas from Helsinki to Washington DC and everywhere in between, culminating in recording the show for Netflix in Los Angeles in February 2020, just before COVID changed everything.

The year that was like no other saw Gadsby bunkering down in Australia, sheltering from a global pandemic and pondering what was next.

That ponder is now a show. A brand new live show. One could say it's a new body of work.

Fortunately, being in Australia at this time in history means that Gadsby is able to premiere Body of Work in Canberra in July, before taking in a national tour and then embarking on a United Kingdom, European and North American leg in early 2022.

Hannah Gadsby will be at the Canberra Theatre Centre on July 24 and 25.
