Los diez pasos hacia Nanette

Nanette wasn't just a stand-up act second to none, she was also a runaway viral hit that wowed audiences with her heart-wrenching sincerity and her ability to generate tension and laughter at the same time. Gadsby's worldwide success might lead us to believe that her fame came overnight, but the path that took her to the top of the international scene was actually quite tortuous. In The Ten Steps to Nanette, Gadbsy gives us his most intimate portrait: his adolescence as a queer person in Tasmania (where homosexuality was illegal until 1997), traveling jobs in Australia after university, his harsh encounters with homophobia and violence sexual, her constant evolution as a comedian, the late diagnoses of autism and ADHD... and finally the discovery of what was to be the essence of Nanette, that is, the refusal to make fun of herself in her jokes, the rejection of misogyny and the moral commitment to tell the truth at all costs. As hard as it is funny, The Ten Steps to Nanette is an "awkward autobiography" that, following its author's habit of playing with expectations and the rules of comedy, brings us closer to one of the most explosive and influential voices of our time.
