Robby Hoffman and Guests
Wednesday October 2nd
Robby Hoffman is coming back to Canada for her first theatre tour!
Robby is a small ex-Hasidic queer Jewish stand-up comedian, writer, and true original. She can currently be seen as the breakout of Netflix’s Verified, their new selection of next generation stand-up comedians.
New York Times comedy critic Jason Zinoman compares her "bulldozing stand-up to Larry David because of her mountain-out-of-a-molehill kvetching, but her hilarious rage over people who complain about interruptions during a conversation makes her sound like a modern lesbian Andrew Dice Clay."
Robby was named one of Vulture's Top “Comedians to Watch,” one of Comedy Central's “Up Next” comedians, and was on Conan O’Brien’s “Comics to Watch” list. She has performed numerous times at the Montreal Just for Laughs festival and has twice headlined the New York Comedy Festival. As an actor, Robby will soon be seen in a major arc in the upcoming FX series, “Dying for Sex”, based on the popular podcast, in which she stars opposite Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate.
She recorded her first one-hour stand up special I’m Nervous in Toronto, for CraveTV, and can also be seen in History of the World on Hulu.
Robby is also a notable TV writer, having written on Canadian shows Workin' Moms (CBC/Netflix), and Baroness Von Sketch Show (CBC) as well as the The Chris Gethard Show on TruTV. In 2019, Robby won a Daytime Emmy Award for her writing work on Odd Squad (PBS). She is currently developing projects with Showtime, Warner Bros TV and A24.
