Robby Hoffman

Robby Hoffman is an Emmy-winning writer, Emmy-nominated actor, and comedian whose work spans stand-up, television, and podcasting. In 2025, her debut Netflix stand-up special, Robby Hoffman: WAKE UP, directed by John Mulaney, premiered globally. Upon the announcement of their collaboration, Mulaney boasted, "No one has owned a stage like her since James Brown." She currently appears on Season 4 of HBO's Hacks, where she earned a 2025 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series, and is now in production on Season 5.

In 2025, Hoffman starred opposite Michelle Williams in FX's critically acclaimed limited series Dying for Sex and was named one of Variety's "10 Comics to Watch," building on buzz from her breakout set on Netflix's Verified. She is currently developing Unentitled at HBO, a new series she is writing, executive producing, and set to star in, and is also set for a major role in the upcoming HBO series Rooster from Steve Carell and Bill Lawrence. Beyond screen work, she hosts the Patreon podcast Too Far with Robby Hoffman.

Born in Brooklyn and raised in a large Hasidic Jewish family before moving to Montreal, Hoffman draws on ex-Hasidic, queer, and working class experiences, bringing a complaint-driven style that The New York Times described as "bulldozing stand-up," comparing her to Larry David and calling her "a modern lesbian Andrew 'Dice' Clay," while also describing her podcast Too Far as "an addictive listen." Robby won a Daytime Emmy for her work on the PBS series Odd Squad and writing on acclaimed series including Baroness von Sketch Show and Workin' Moms.

She has been hailed as "the future of comedy" by The Daily Beast, "an original comic talent" by The Wall Street Journal, and a "delightful oddball" by The Hollywood Reporter, while Decider wrote that "to witness her performance is to see someone who stands out so distinctly from her contemporaries."
