Emmy Award winner Hannah Gadsby opened their new stand-up show WOOF! at Off-Broadway's Abrons Arts Center October 6, and the reviews are in. Performances are set to continue through October 27. See what critics are saying below.
Gadsby first graced the NYC stage with their comedy hit Nanette, which was filmed and released by Netflix in 2018. Past shows also include Douglas, which was also picked up by Netflix, and Body of Work. Gadsby received two Emmy nominations each for Nanette and Douglas, and won the award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special for Nanette.
Prior to their NYC engagement, Gadsby performed WOOF! at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Austin, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, and in other cities. According to press notes, the show is Gadsby processing the current moment, "with all its catastrophes and hypocrisies, from a new perspective."
