Robby is a comedian

She recently performed her new hour Homecoming King at the critically acclaimed Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal, Canada, where she’s originally from. “Robby Hoffman is a small ex-Hasidic queer Jewish stand-up comedian, writer, and true original,” her bio says.
She tells jokes about a variety of subject matter, and she’s named comics like Tim Dillon, Sam Jay, Naomi Ekperigin, and Michelle Buteau as some of her favorites in a 2022 interview with Vulture. When asked to describe her comedy, she said, “Original, unlike anyone you’ve seen.” In that same interview, she did joke that if she wasn’t a comedian, she’d be a “Rabbi of the first-ever mega synagogue.”
She’s received numerous accolades as a comedian
