Its really interesting, Jim Jefferies comes at his comedy from literally the opposite direction, but somehow arrives at the same place. Jim is also an Australian but he starts out one of his best stand up routines by bashing on lesbians for several minutes, then addresses his own depression, suicidal thoughts, alcoholism, how an offhand comment got someone killed, and how his privilege makes all those things harder to cope with. And then he wraps it all up with a 30 minute true story about taking a friend with severe MS to get a hooker.
So while I enjoy Jim Jefferies' brand of unashamed, no-holds-bared humor a lot, I still think I could enjoy Gadsby's work as well. Every good comedian seems to have two things in common: they can see humor in the most horrible things, and they tie that humor into topics that matter to them. If the humor is on point, their politics are irrelevant.
So yeah, I think I'll check out Gadsby.
