Describing the response to Nanette as “overwhelming”, Gadsby says the supportive response from straight white men is what has surprised her the most. “I didn’t write the show for them,” she laughs. “So I was expecting a bit of backlash from that demographic. But I didn’t get that – a lot of guys really connected with it and… I liked that.”

But with self-deprecation being a key theme of the show, the fact that a spectrum of people have identified themselves in Gadbsy’s words is perhaps unsurprising – because who doesn’t rely on self-deprecation? Although it’s no longer a habit to use as a tool for acceptance, Gadsby still thinks self-deprecating is an important art in survival.

“I think there’s a place for self-deprecation, I really do. I could not have done what I did without the protection of it that I built around myself,” she says. “It’s a really valuable thing to be able to do as a survival skill and a coping mechanism. But I think as a maturity thing, it’s important to also know how to shift and when it’s appropriate to shift. It’s no longer a habit, it’s just another way of expressing or navigating certain situations so I can do it if needs be - if I need to disarm people.”
