Robby Hoffman @ Soho Theatre

Netflixs Verified Stand-Up star makes her UK debut. Robby is a small ex-Hasidic queer Jewish stand-up comedian, writer, and true original. She can currently be seen as the breakout of Verified Stand-Up, Netflixs new selection of next generation stand-up comedians. New York Times 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. Hoffmans ability to spout funny remarks almost on command is most remarkable New York Times ... Robby was named one of Vultures Top Comedians to Watch, one of Comedy Centrals Up Next comedians, and was on Conan OBriens Comics to Watch list. She has performed numerous times at the Montreal Just for Laughs festival and has twice headlined the New York Comedy Festival. She recorded her first one-hour stand up special Im Nervous in Toronto, available on CraveTV, and can also be seen in this years History of the World on Hulu. Also a favourite of The Times is her podcast, Too Far (with Rachel Kaly) which is described as an addictive listen, and that truly great comedy emerges from combustible hostility, discord and a melodramatic sense of conflict.
