Hannah Gadsby to debut new tonight show at Melbourne Comedy Festival in March 2026

by | Dec 11, 2025

The Evening Muse…It’s like a Tonight Show, but it’s hosted by Hannah, so it probably isn’t anything like what you’d expect. But it’s exactly what Hannah will expect. Or is it?

Hannah doesn’t venture out much these days. So they’re inviting people in…like guests…who knows what might happen? With different content each night of the week, join Hannah on a mission to reconnect with the world.

Hannah Gadsby has been a comedian for nearly two decades, but it was in 2018 that the world took notice when their groundbreaking comedy special, Nanette, launched on Netflix and stopped the comedy world in its tracks. Nanette earned Hannah an Emmy, a Peabody, an AACTA, and the Most Outstanding Show awards at both the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Edinburgh Fringe. Since then, Hannah has toured the world with three more solo stand-up comedy shows – selling out houses across the USA, Australia, and Europe, including the Sydney Opera House, The Palladium in London’s West End, the Kennedy Center, and the Opera House at BAM in NYC. Hannah’s second Netflix special, Douglas, was also nominated for an Emmy Award and won an AACTA, as did their third, Something Special.
