Emmy-award winning Australian comedian Hannah Gadsby has revealed she married her producer Jenney Shamash earlier this year.

Gadsby, 43, announced the news in a post on Instagram with a photo of her and her wife eating ice cream.

The pair tied the knot in January.

Shamash managed Gadsby's US debut and has worked as a producer in New York and London.

"I would like to introduce all y’all to Jenney Shamash. She is a producer extraordinaire," Gadsby wrote.

"She is very funny and is really talented at reciting facts. It is a joy to behold.

"We got married in January and we are very chuffed about it. For the record: this is me gushing.

"I am full of very positive feelings. This is a nice story.

"My heart felt thanks to everybody who voted for marriage equality."

Gadsby won the Emmy for Best Writing for her 2018 Netflix variety special, Nanette, beating out Beyonce's concert film, Homecoming.

Nanette was meant to be Gadsby's final show before retiring from comedy, but instead she was catapulted to international fame.

Gadsby went on to do a world tour and a second Netflix special, Douglas.
