'I think when I'm performing, I'm trying to connect what's happening deep inside me and the mess and the chaos inside me. And I'm trying to join that with the chaos of the world and make something out of it,' she said.
Emmy Award-winning stand-up comic Hannah Gadsby doesn't hide away from speaking in a raw and unfiltered way about difficult topics in her life— like childhood trauma, sexual and physical abuse. She writes about it all in her new memoir,"Ten Steps to Nanette."
In Nanette, which debuted on Netflix in 2018, Gadsby addressed her own trauma and the nature of comedy itself. "And I thought that would turn people off and what happened is that something I was saying people wanted to hear," Gadsby told CBS News' Anthony Mason. Gadsby was diagnosed with autism in 2017, which she talked about in her second comedy special,"Douglas."
"I think when I'm performing, I'm trying to connect what's happening deep inside me and the mess and the chaos inside me. And I'm trying to join that with the chaos of the world and make something out of it," she said.
