Born in Brooklyn and raised in a large 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."
