Hanna Gadsby’s GENDER AGENDA- LGBTQIA+ Comedians in 4th Netflix Special & Tour!!
October 18, 2024 in NEWS, TV/INTERNET
Get ready to laugh like never before, because the incredibly talented Hannah Gadsby has a new Netflix Special – Hanna Gadsby’s Gender Agenda and is also hitting the road on tour in the fall of 2024! The comedy scene is buzzing with excitement about their tour scheduled to hit cities across the U.S., including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto and Austin. Their 4th Netflix Special Hanna Gadsby’s Gender Agenda brings…
together gender queer comics from around the globe who all take the stage live at London’s Alexandra Palace for a show hosted by the award-winning Gadsby. The cast includes Hannah Gadsby, Jes Tom, Chloe Petts, Asha Ward, DeAnne Smith, Mx. Dahlia Bell, Krishna Istha and ALOK.

Hanna’s solo fall tour is a combination of humor, introspection, and empowerment. Fans can expect the ticket sales to fly off the shelves as Gadsby (known for both raw honesty and uproarious wit) takes storytelling prowess to new heights.
Gadsby has been a comedian for more than a decade but it was 2018, when the world took notice. The ground-breaking comedy special Nanette launched on Netflix and stopped the comedy world in its tracks. This was followed up with Hanna performing stand-up comedy shows touring the world and selling out houses across the USA, Australia and Europe, including the Sydney Opera House, the Royal Festival Hall, the Kennedy Centre, the London Palladium and the Opera House at BAM.
Image: Netflix.
First skyrocketing to fame with Nanette (which not only showcased sharp comedic insights but also addressed profound themes of identity, trauma, and the societal narratives surrounding them), Hanna earned an Emmy, a Peabody, an Australian Academy Award, and the Most Outstanding Show awards at both the Melbourne Comedy Festival and Edinburgh Fringe. A unique blend of humor and vulnerability has earned not just critical acclaim, but helped land Hanna a second Netflix special, Douglas (2020) a third special, Something Special (2023) and now a fourth, Hanna Gadsby’s Gender Agenda (2024).
With credits in television and stage Gadsby has solidified a place as a multi-faceted and talented comedian.

The Boston Charles Playhouse, a prestigious venue that has long been associated with the performing arts, is undergoing an exciting transformation into a vibrant comedy club spearheaded by producers Norm Laviolette and John Tobin in collaboration with Broadway In Boston. Established in 1839, the Charles Playhouse has a rich history, originally serving as a theater for both plays and vaudeville performances. Over the decades, it has earned a reputation for showcasing a diverse range of productions, most notably housing the acclaimed Blue Man Group for over 25 years. As the theater enters this new chapter, it aims to become a prominent hub for comedy, capitalizing on Boston’s growing reputation as an incubator for talented comedians.
Norm Laviolette is no stranger to the Boston entertainment scene. As a producer and entrepreneur, he has been instrumental in cultivating local talent and supporting the arts. Laviolette’s experience includes co-founding the reputable Improv Asylum, where he not only produced shows but also provided a platform for emerging comedians to hone their craft. His dedication to the comedic arts and understanding of audience expectations are sure to shape the new identity of the Charles Playhouse as a lively venue for laughter and entertainment.
John Tobin, another key figure in this venture, brings a wealth of experience as the former Executive Director of the Boston Arts Academy and a key player in the city’s artistic community. Tobin’s commitment to fostering creativity and engaging with local talent makes him an invaluable asset in realizing the potential of the Charles Playhouse as a comedy club. Under his guidance, the venue will likely feature a rich array of comedic performances, from stand-up to improv, ensuring that audiences have an unforgettable experience.

Known for bringing high-quality performances to the Boston area, Broadway In Boston aims to integrate its expertise in production with Laviolette and Tobin’s vision for creating a comedy-centric venue. By blending the two worlds of theater and comedy, they aspire to attract a diverse audience, enhancing the cultural landscape of the city.
As the team prepares for the opening of the new comedy club, they are actively seeking to curate a lineup that reflects both established and emerging comedic talent. With Boston being home to a wealth of comedians, there is potential for a rich variety of performances that could range from nationally recognized acts to local favorites.
