Coming to Netflix this month

Netflix has released the first trailer for Hannah Gadsby's new stand-up special, Douglas.

In the footage, she acknowledges the huge impact of her breakthrough show, Nanette, and how it has changed her life.

But in reminding the audience how deeply emotional that show went, she says: 'Had I known just how wildly popular trauma was going to be in the context of comedy I might have budgeted my shit a bit better… But I went and put all my trauma eggs into one basket –and now here we are.'

Otherwise the clip gives very limited clues to the content of a show that already picked up strong reviews on tour internationally.

Douglas, which is named, in part, after her dog, streams on Netflix from May 26.
