Nanette fans, it’s time to add Hannah Gadsby’s Gender Agenda to your Netflix watchlist

“The last time Netflix brought this many trans people together, it was for a protest,” says Hannah Gadsby of their new Netflix special, Gender Agenda. “So, progress!”  


When Hannah Gadsby signed a multi-title deal with Netflix, we knew the Australian comedian – who previously broke the internet with their soul-affirming special Nanette – was going to bring something incredible to our screens.

Now, finally, Gadsby is about to gift us Gender Agenda, a multi-comic special featuring seven genderqueer comics from around the globe: Jes Tom, Alok, Asha Ward, Chloe Petts, DeAnne Smith, Krishna Istha and Mx. Dahlia Belle.

Watch the trailer for Hannah Gadsby’s Gender Agenda below:

Taped at the Alexandra Palace Theatre in London and directed by Julian Smith, Gadsby has said that Gender Agenda “aims to foster the professional development of a demographic that is still struggling to have their voices heard”.

“There is such a wealth of brilliant genderqueer comics out there, but such a dearth of representation on the major streaming services,” Gadsby explains via a statement to Variety.

“Meanwhile, jokes about trans people are becoming more and more lucrative, so it seems only right that at least some of those jokes be told by actual trans people themselves. So, I am beyond thrilled to bring this lineup together, showcasing seven extraordinarily talented comics and to use my platform (and Netflix’s…) to hopefully help catapult them into the spotlight that they deserve.”

Gadsby adds: “They (and I mean ‘they’ in every sense of the word) are some of the funniest, smartest genderqueer comedians from around the globe, and it was an utter delight and true honour to share the stage with them.”

Hannah Gadsby’s Gender Agenda will debut via Netflix on Tuesday 5 March.
