    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    When Hannah Gadsby entered a deal at Netflix in 2022 with the goal of broadening “a notoriously transphobic industry,” they set plans for a multi-comic special featuring genderqueer comics from around the globe.

    With Gadsby as curator and host, “Gender Agenda” will give the stage to Jes Tom, Alok, Asha Ward, Chloe Petts, DeAnne Smith, Krishna Istha and Mx.

    Tom has written for Max’s “Our Flag Means Death” and recently wrapped the off-Broadway run of “Less Lonely,” their one-person show presented by Elliot Page.

    Alok headlined the NYC Comedy Festival in 2021, and has appeared in unscripted series such as Hulu’s “Planet Sex” with Cara Delevingne and Netflix‘s “Getting Curious” with Jonathan Van Ness.

    Ward is best known for being the youngest-ever writer for “Saturday Night Live.” Petts is currently touring her standup show “If You Can’t Say Anything Nice.” Smith previously starred in Netflix’s “Comedians of the World” and in 2008 won the Sydney Comedy Festival’s Time best newcomer award.

    Gadsby executive produces alongside Kevin Whyte, Jenney Shamash and Kathleen McCarthy as well as Andy Rowe and Graham Stuart for ITV’s So Television.
