After waking up in the hospital following a late miscarriage, Abby Wambaugh — still high on anesthesia — made an unexpected decision: to become a comedian. Now, in her uniquely goofy and heartfelt hour, Abby shares her 17 best ideas for her first show. "The First 3 Minutes of 17 Shows" sees Wambaugh cleverly exploring her talent for a wide range of comedy styles in this one-person variety show, including potential hits like “Old Man Learns Parkour” and a very long impression of the number nine - a setup that explores gender, pregnancy, loss and creativity and uncovers a deeper story about the value of beginnings that don't necessarily have a middle or an end.

Presented by Hannah Gadsby
Produced by Ally Engelberg and Jenney Shamash
Directed by Lara Ricote
Title Designs by Debbie Cho and Jordan Kim
