I’d like to introduce all y’all to Jenney. She’s a producer extraordinaire. She’s funny and very talented at reciting facts. We just got MARRIED and we are very chuffed. This is me gushing. I’m full of very positive feelings. Thanks to all y’all who voted for marriage equality.

So honored to receive an Emmy for Nanette.  My gratitude to the Television Academy for recognizing my work, to Netflix for the embrace of my vision & to my team for their humbling faith in me.  If you found strength in Nanette, know that our stories matter; our humanity matters.

I don't have an issue with all the angry men telling me that I am not funny. I just wish they would at least try and express their disproportionate feelings about comedy in a more humorous way.

I am aware that there is a lot of love flowing for Nanette here on Twitter. I honestly don't know how to handle it. So here is a picture of Douglas and Jasper.

Thanks for all the wonderful messages about Nanette. I am a little overwhelmed, so here is a picture of Douglas expressing my gratitude through the metaphor of a nap.

So thrilled! India has made it safer for their LGBTQ population and THIS IS NO SMALL THING. I am in awe of all those who fought for this change - to even get it to court took incredible courage. 🌈 #377Verdict

I couldn’t understand why Australia awarded its highest honor to a rape apologist & sycophant to pedophiles. Then I remembered our P.M. is a coal carrying visionless self server who chooses to go on holiday when the country is on literal fire. When the top rots - we all do.

Safe to say I did not quit. Instead...I did 147 shows over 369 days in 40 cities across 12 countries and 432 NYT Monday crosswords from the archive: the Douglas Tour is done! I had a very nice time. I hope y’all did too. Wash your hands on the regular and be as well as you can.

Nominated for an Emmy! Well I’m pretty chuffed. Hard to know what the boys make of it. I reckon they want Emmy to mean ‘food’ or ‘park’. Time will tell.

Douglas has been nominated for two Emmy’s. What an absolute honor. Thanks to everyone who supported the show along the way. And thanks to the dog himself. What a muse!

L.C.K. AGAIN? Without warning a sex pest gets the loudest voice in the room & shows he's still better at gripping his own genitals than the concept of consent. World is a gross #boysclub where the punchline still gets to be the comedian and the criminal still gets to be the judge

Barry Humphries loves those who hold power, hates vulnerable minorities and has completely lost the ability to read the room. Thats not a comedian, thats an irrelevant, inhumane dick biscuit of the highest order.

This government has no right to celebrate with us. You failed to either lead or represent the people you’re elected to serve and forced us into a collateral battle of factional cluster fuckery. But while you played politics for egos we were fighting for our lives #gaylipoli 🌈

Here is a picture I took at my high school last year. When I attended Smithton High way back in the day… all (positive) chat about homosexuality was banned in schools.

I think we need a plebiscite to decide if politicians should be allowed to be at all sexually active and I think robodebt should be harassing them non stop about every skerrick of their travel claims and all those with dual citizenship clouds over them should wait it out on Manus

So shaken by the news of Eurydice Dixon, a young Melbourne stand-up who was raped and murdered as she walked home after a gig. I didn't know her, but 12 yrs ago I was negotiating the world the same way as she was. My deepest condolences to her family.

I was at a friend’s house when we heard the news…I celebrated with a glass of rosé (yes way) and the Dalai Lama peeking over my shoulder. Good way to keep a little perspective. #TenStepsToNanette is a NYTimes Bestseller…Oofty…and many thanks to y’all…
