Season 1 Review:
She delivers on everything she promises. Gadsby transitions from section to section of her 10th comedy tour with an ease that seems almost stream of consciousness. It’s evident that she’s meticulously worked out every word choice and carefully crafted unexpected callbacks of jokes from a half hour earlier, but she also remains flexible.

Season 1 Review:
“Douglas” indicates the limits of her humor in covering over the limits of her project when it comes to redressing all the ills she wants to fix. The applause ringing through “Douglas” suggests that what one comes to Gadsby for is the humor, but what one leaves with, by the artist’s own design, is a sense of having done activism simply by agreeing with her.

Holy moly this is an amazing piece of comedy/art/performance. It's super smart, super funny, and super poignant. It's rare for me to be legitimately laughing out loud by myself watching a comedy special, but Douglas had me in tears. The name Douglas has been forever changed!

Brilliant work! Although not as dark as Nanette, it still has an edge. Smart, funny and insightful. Will no doubt watch it again as it goes by fast and there is a lot to take in.

This special very smartly responds to the criticism of her first American special while showing what makes her unique and stand out as her own unique voice and vision.

Not a comedian, only a bitter unfunny person using victim hood to cash as many sympathy points as possible.
