Critics Consensus

Humorously human and poignantly hilarious, Douglas is an expertly constructed hour of comedy that further affirms Hannah Gadsby's mastery of their craft.

Gadsby is no everywoman, her worldview is entirely her own. That's why she stands out, at once fiercely and quietly, like a tiny, perfect lion.

This is an uneasy dance between artist and audience. It's challenging. It is funny, and truly hilarious at times. But it's also going to kick you in the guts when you least expect it

New York Times

"Douglas" is a surprisingly slick, joke-dense show, running hot then cold and even chilly, periodically pausing to meditate on its changing temperature.

them.

From its first moments, Gadsby makes it clear that she’s a comedian who knows enough about the art of stand-up to continuously flip it on its head, again and again.

So how can a show that touches on all this darkness make your belly hurt from laughing? Its because acknowledging the bad things and saying the jokes next to each other admit that both can coexist.

NME (New Musical Express)

A funny yet frustrating encore...after vowing to quit stand-up forever in her breakthrough show, Hannah Gadsby returns on playful and defensive form.

Rated: 3/5

I watched this immediately after Nanette in the pursuit of not going to bed crying, and it delivered. Douglas may not be for everyone, but Gadsby's style of humor and presentation had me in stitches!

I honestly don't know how anyone can laugh at this. It's depressing. The jokes make Bob Saget on America's Funniest Home Video's seem funny. This is the kind of humour woke people that want everything they don't agree with cancelled like. Truly awful.

Her story about her teacher and the box/penguin made me laugh so hard I cried the first time I watched it.

This funny special has some of the meta scaffolding and trendy postmodernism of ‘Nanette'. It's also really funny.

She needs therapy. Seriously, she needs therapy... The whole show doesn't belong on tv but behind the door of a therapy session.

Toxic and unfunny. Where were the jokes? Humorless and tasteless.
