Hannah Gadsby on healing through comedy, new memoir and saying something "people wanted to hear"
CBSN
Emmy Award-winning stand-up comic Hannah Gadsby doesn't hide away from speaking in a raw and unfiltered way about difficult topics in her life— like childhood trauma, sexual and physical abuse. She writes about it all in her new memoir, "Ten Steps to Nanette."
Gadsby started writing the memoir before she wrote her hit Netflix special "Nanette" and became a global stand-up phenomenon.
In Nanette, which debuted on Netflix in 2018, Gadsby addressed her own trauma and the nature of comedy itself. "And I thought that would turn people off and what happened is that something I was saying people wanted to hear," Gadsby told CBS News' Anthony Mason.
