Gadsby shot into the limelight this year with her Netflix special Nanette, an eviscerating look at comedy, mental illness, patriarchy and trauma.

The show has found fans in Roxane Gay, Lily Allen, Thandie Newton and more. Monica Lewinsky even recently penned an essay on the star for Vanity Fair’s 2018 Hall of Fame.

“She forces the audience to sit with these experiences and, in doing so, creates a new framework to understand shame and humiliation,” Lewinsky writes. “She had us at: ‘There’s nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself’”.
