Hannah

Hannah is Josh's friend, a wry, deeply awkward presence who drifts through his orbit with a flat affect and a talent for saying the truest thing in the room at the worst possible moment. She doesn't perform sociability the way people around her do, and she doesn't seem to want to.

Gadsby plays her own brand of discomfort as comedy without ever turning Hannah into a punchline — the deadpan is the joke and the shield at once. Against Josh's anxious eagerness to be liked, her indifference to charm becomes its own quiet, funny kind of honesty.
