Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda

Not funny in the slightest, not even a little bit. Boring, laboursome, recycled jokes... if you can call them that, which would be a definite stretch. The comedy is so basic and one dimensional, and they all have a very similar persona. They're duplicates of each other but just look different. It's painfully clear that they are all obsessed with themselves. It's exhausting

There's also a very obvious laugh track played throughout which means the live audience didn't find these people funny. It was so bad that it was akin to a train crash - you can't look away because it's just that terrible. I don't get how they wrote these jokes and genuinely thought that they were writing comedy... Now that's funny!

I think there must be a bunch political people who are down voting it on principle because this is like any other multi-act standup shows: some great moments, some meh, but overall fun.

I don't really get to hear trans people make fun of themselves that often in the media, and a lot of the comedians did it in really funny ways. It's refreshing to hear jokes and self deprecating humour from a different walk of life.

If you like a wide range of comedy, you'll find some new comedians to love in this show. It's worth your time to make up your own mind and to challenge yourself a little bit. Take each act as their own artist.

Hannah Gadsby's 'Gender Agenda' comedy show is a great gateway into LGBTQ+ stand-up, featuring a diverse cast who are not only charming but also informative and fun.

They take you on a journey through their unique experiences of being part of the LGBTQ+ community. While not a constant laugh-out-loud performance, it was still enjoyable and is bound to put a smile on your face. Each cast member was unique, which created a nice flow. One or two performances could have benefited from improved delivery, but the quality of the content still shone through. This was a very inclusive performance for both the LGBTQ+ community and allies.

There was simply nothing funny about this. The comedians were essentially just speaking, and I'm not sure if I laughed even once. But I guess this is sort of the vibe of Hannah Gadsby- stand-up comedy that's so high brow and "deep" (?) that it forgets the punchline.

Netflix is clearly trying to promote this, as it's the number 2 listed stand-up as I'm writing (not in terms of views, but just what they listed). What's wild to me is it sounded like there was a very obvious laugh track included. The laughs would be very short and then abruptly stop. I'd love to see the unedited version. Expecting crickets.

As with any showcase introducing a number of comedians that were largely unknown, there were hits and misses. Overall, though, I enjoyed it. As others have pointed out, there appeared to be some enhancement of the audience reaction, which seems a bit odd. Perhaps the audience was not advised that it was a recorded performance, or perhaps the venue was not a great fit - you'd expect that loyal local fans of the comics on display would make every effort to attend and be naturally enthusiastic. At any rate, that didn't really impact my reaction to the show. Since this special prompted a batch of hate-downvoting (which seems to be more and more common these days) I looked at a few of those reviewers and found that all or nearly all of their reviews were 1/10. They must be really poor at selecting what movies/specials they decide to invest their time in watching if they continually sit through performances they hate.
