Robby Hoffman - Blue Whale Comedy Festival

Robby Hoffman is a small, ex-Hasidic, queer comedian that can be seen as the breakout star of season 4 of HBO Max’s Hacks; her performance has been hailed as “the future of comedy” by Daily Beast and as “an original comic talent,” by the Wall Street Journal. HBO recently expanded their business with Hoffman by putting into development Unentitled, a starring vehicle for her to also co-write and executive produce. Hoffman can also be seen in a memorable role on FX’s buzzy limited series Dying for Sex which she appears as a sexual guide to Michelle Williams’ character. Next up, she will be seen in Steve Carell’s untitled new comedy series for HBO and creators Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses.

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." Zinoman also highlights her podcast Too Far as an “addictive listen.”

Robby had an attention-grabbing set on Netflix’s Verified standup showcase and is currently prepping her first hour-long special for US release. She previously filmed an hour-long special “I’m Nervous” which aired on CraveTV in Canada.

Robby is also a notable TV writer, having written on The Chris Gethard Show (TruTV), Workin' Moms (Netflix), and Baroness Von Sketch Show (IFC). She won a Daytime Emmy Award for her writing work on Odd Squad (PBS).
