Trailer Watch: Hannah Gadsby Hunts for “Trauma Eggs” in “Douglas”

"Hannah Gadsby: Douglas"

“Had I known just how wildly popular trauma was going to be in the context of comedy, I might have budgeted my shit a bit better. But I went and put all my trauma eggs into one basket like a fucking idiot and now here we are,” says Hannah Gadsby in a new trailer for “Douglas.” Named in honor of Gadsby’s dog, the Netflix special sees the breakout star reflecting on life after “Nanette,” her 2018 Peabody and Emmy-winning special examining trauma, internalized homophobia and misogyny, and the very nature of comedy itself.

This brief clip of “Douglas” keeps things decidedly lighter. The Australian comedian recalls being told to “Americanize” her language when she started working in the U.S., and describes being thrilled to adopt “y’all.” She explains, “I love y’all because y’all is the best, most inclusive second-person plural pronoun in the English-speaking world! Thank you, the South! What an ally,” Gadsby cheekily adds.

Described as a “grand tour of guffaw that takes you from the dog park to the High Renaissance and back into an unnamed box,” “Hannah Gadsby: Douglas” premieres on Netflix May 26.
