Hannah Gadsby is an award-winning Australian comedian who thinks quickly and moves slowly.  She is sardonic, laconic and, after numerous bone crunching accidents, bionic.  Her droll delivery, delightful wordplay and heart-breakingly funny, self-deprecating observations have delighted audiences all over the world.

Hannah began her stand-up career in 2006 when she was "discovered" at the Hobart Comedy Festival. Relieved that she existed, she went on to win the national final of Raw Comedy and followed this up with a very impressive second place in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival's So You Think You're Funny?

Since then, Hannah has performed to sold out houses at comedy festivals across Australia, accepted an invitation to perform at the exclusive Kilkenny Comedy Festival, the prestigious Montreal Just for Laughs comedy festival and appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe and New Zealand Comedy Festivals. 

Surprised and relieved that she maintains a healthy pallor in front of the camera, Hannah has taken up a regular spot on ABC TV's Adam Hills In Gordon Street Tonight.  She has also made appearances on Channel 10's Good News Week, ABC TV's Spicks and Specks and New Zealand TV 3's 7 Days. 

Desperate to make use of her Art History degree, Hannah wrote and presented two specials for ABC TV's Artscape, and takes every opportunity to present her incredibly popular comedic art lectures at festivals around the world.

Hannah is writing her first book, based on her mildly alarming medical history, and in 2011, released her first stand-up DVD "Kiss Me Quick I'm Full of Jubes" through Madman Entertainment.
