Trying to get some one-on-one time with Hannah Gadsby @Hannahgadsby for my research. Help a girl out!
Hi @Hannahgadsby, I’ll be attending your performance of Douglas on Wednesday, June 26 in Washington, DC. Would you be able to spare some time to meet with me (for scholarly research) on that Wed or Tues (6/25 or 6/26)? I am flexible! #Douglas #douglasworldtour

So excited to see @Hannahgadsby perform Douglas in DC this June! #hannahgadsby #douglas #douglasworldtour
Been having a blast writing about @Hannahgadsby and her influence on the second comedy boom. Publishing two articles on Nanette in Studies in American Humor and Journal of Cinema and Media Studies this spring. Look for them on rebeccakrefting.com
