Hannah Gadsby doesn't smile much and she laughs even less. For a comedian, that's like being a transformer that doesn't fancy driving. She hates talking and is not much chop when it comes to listening. She is a rock, an island, and a lone ranger. She knows all this yet she was still utterly miffed when a friend told her she was woeful at chatting and was borderline rude. In the face of criticism she vowed to change and decided to train in the art of small talk. Hannah Gadsby: Mrs Chuckles is a tale of self discovery and of general failure.
