Robby Hoffman is an Emmy-winning writer, Emmy-nominated actor, and comedian whose work
spans stand-up, television, and podcasting. In 2025, she was named one of Variety’s “10 Comics
to Watch” and one of Deadline’s “Comics Who Won 2025.” Her debut Netflix stand-up special,
Robby Hoffman: WAKE UP, directed by John Mulaney premiered globally in November 2025.
Upon announcement of their collaboration, Mulaney boasted, “No one has owned a stage like her
since James Brown.”

In 2025 Hoffman also starred opposite Michelle Williams in FX’s critically acclaimed limited series
Dying for Sex. She appeared in Season 4 of HBO’s Hacks, where she earned an Emmy
nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series, and can currently be seen in the
5th and final season of the show. Robby also can be seen in the HBO series Rooster from Steve
Carell and Bill Lawrence. Hoffman is currently developing Unentitled at HBO, a new series she is
writing, executive producing, and set to star in.

Born in Brooklyn and raised in a large Hasidic Jewish family before moving to Montreal, The New
York Times describes Robby as a “bulldozing stand-up,” comparing her to Larry David, noting her
“mountain-out-of-a-molehill kvetching, but her hilarious rage makes her sound like a modern
lesbian Andrew ‘Dice’ Clay.” The New York Times also praised her Patreon podcast Too Far as
“an addictive listen.”

Robby Hoffman 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.”
