Hannah Gadsby's new Netflix special illustrates a different side of the comedian that fans may not expect -- a happier one.
"It's a lighter show," Gadsby tells The Associated Press ahead of Tuesday's airing"Something Special.""It's more positive. It's expressing a happiness I don't think I had done in earlier Netflix specials."
The new hourlong stand-up special recorded at the Sydney Opera house in Australia explores marriage, sudden fame, parenting styles, cultural differences and life with autism. If there is a motif this time, it is rabbits. The critters are part of two tent-pole stories, one involving an ex-girlfriend and another their wife. Paper bunnies decorate the stage.
Of fame onstage, Gadsby says:"Don't expect it, that's gross. But just on the off chance you find yourself famous, you'd better be prepared. Because I wasn't and I made a dog's breakfast of it." Asked in the interview, they say the diagnosis has been freeing, in a way. It means Gadsby doesn't worry about understanding everything, conserves more energy and offers a bit more control.
