Robby Hoffman
Robby Hoffman is a small ex-Hasidic queer Jewish stand-up comedian, writer, and true original. She can currently be seen as the breakout of Netflix’s Verified, their new selection of next generation stand-up comedians. 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."
Also a favorite 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."
She was named one of Vulture's Top “Comedians to Watch,” one of Comedy Central's “Up Next” comedians, and was on Conan O’Brien’s “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 I’m Nervous in Toronto, available on CraveTV, and can also be seen in this year's History of the World on Hulu.
Robby is also a notable TV writer, having written on The Chris Gethard Show (TruTV), Workin' Moms (Netflix), and Baroness Von Sketch Show (IFC). In 2019, Robby won a Daytime Emmy Award for her writing work on Odd Squad(PBS). She is currently developing projects with Showtime, Warner Bros TV and A24.
Born and raised in New York, Tori Piskin is an actor, comedian, and writer now based in Los Angeles. As a stand up comedian, Tori Piskin was in the 2019 New York Comedy Festival - TBS Presents: Comics to Watch. She was one out of ten performers picked from submission across the country. She has been featured alongside Pauly Shore, Judy Gold, and Michael Kosta. In 2019, she was selected to be part of a worldwide Facebook campaign featuring her standup material; the campaign was featured digitally and on billboards in NYC. she just released a new comedy special Prettiest Girl at the Special School premiers on Sirius XM and 800 Pound Gorilla. In 2024 she performed at Skankfest Comedy Festival and opened up for Jeff Ross and Dave Attell Bumping Mic Show. She was a writer on Netflix’s Torching 2024 A Roast Of The Year.
As a content creator, Tori has a growing social media following of over 160k with over 30 million views. She recently released a man on the street series, Asking Gen-Z Mid-2000's Pop Culture Trivia. She has written, produced, directed and starred in sketch videos for Google, Warner Brothers (Friends 25th anniversary), Sally Beauty, and even started a series around her struggles with Lyme Disease which got featured in Glamour Magazine and Bustle.
Tori also just had her theatrical debut in A Nice Girl Like You opposite Lucy Hale. She has a successful podcast with her mom that is on the top 50 comedy iTunes charts (Got It From My Mama) and it has been featured on The Late Late Show with James Corden and Pix11. Her script KUIRKY, a comedic feature based off her experience with dyslexia, won 1st place in the New York Screenplay Contest and the World Series of Screenwriting. It was also a finalist in Ron Howard & Brian Grazer's Imagine Impact Writing Mentorship, and made it to the 3rd round of the PAGE International Screenwriting competition. She has been on-camera talent for Refinery29, where she hosted, wrote and starred in videos for their Snapchat & YouTube, and was featured on MTVs Wild N' Out.
A true comedian’s comedian, Louis’ act has garnered praise from industry legends such as Dave Attell who called him, “one of the best joke writers working today” and Ali Wong who said Louis was, “one of the funniest and most prolific comedians I know.” Marc Maron featured Louis on his WTF podcast twice saying, “His album and special are hilarious.” But perhaps Doug Stanhope put it best when he said, "Katz is funny to the point that Hitler would have given him a sleeper car on the train."
If you like your dirty jokes smart and your smart jokes a little filthy, you’re going to love Louis Katz.
