Gadsby stopped the comedy world in its tracks with her genre-bending show, Nanette, and having given herself her very own tough act to follow, she named her difficult second album after her eldest dog and took it for a walk across the planet, finishing it up in Los Angeles and recording her second Netflix comedy special, Hannah Gadsby: Douglas.
