This event has a 2 item minimum.
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 [with Karey Dornetto] and executive produce. Hoffman can also be seen in a memorable role on FX’s buzzy limited series Dying for Sex which she appears in a sexual guide to Michelle Williams’ character.
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).
The Den Theatre and comedy club is pleased to host Robby Hoffman on June 20, 2025 at 1331 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood.
