Robby Hoffman is a small ex-Hasidic queer Jewish stand-up comedian, writer, and true original. Robby is a new cast member on HBO Max’s Hacks, premiering April 10. She also has a recurring role in the FX series Dying For Sex opposite Michelle Williams and currently can be seen as the breakout of Netflix’s Verified.
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, which is described as an "addictive listen."
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 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).

Stand-up
J.F. Harris
J.F. Harris
Stand-up
Known as one of hardest working comics in the business, J.F. Harris first came up in the downtown New York City comedy scene in the late 2000's. Developing a rapid fire, shockingly funny and personal storytelling style, that quickly made him a staple in both the most established N.Y. comedy clubs and the hippest Brooklyn alt shows. J.F.'s jokes pull from his life touching on topics like dealing with dyslexia, sobriety and the adventures of growing up in blue-collar Staten Island. Looking like he could play in your favorite indie rock band it's no shock to see him on festival line ups like SXSW. J.F.'s success in New York soon led to grindy gigs on the road where over the years he developed into a true headliner and was scooped up to open in arenas and theaters for acts like the Impractical Jokes and Joel McHale. He himself has taken his act around the globe to places as far as Hong Kong and Mumbai, India.
J.F. is also one of the go to guy behind the scenes in comedy for over a decade working with stars like Will Smith, on hit shows like Netflix's Magic For Humans and ghost writing for countless others. J.F. was first tapped to be in front of the camera by Bill Burr, who hand picking J.F. for his Comedy Central show The Ringers, where as Bill put it was a showcase of "The best of the new best in comedy." Shortly after J.F. made his breakout late night stand up debut on The Late Late Show, racking up the applause breaks and received an open invite to return from host James Corden. His long anticipated first stand up comedy hour special People Make Mistakes is set to debut in late this year.
When not touring J.F. splits his time between his adopted home of Los Angeles and the childhood one he can't shake New York.

Stand-up
Orny Adams
Orny Adams
Stand-up
Orny Adams delivers a powerful, incisive stand up routine that vacillates between the relevant and the absurd. Orny attacks what’s wrong with the world and sometimes even what’s wrong with Orny. He’s brutally honest, satirical and his performance is ceaselessly energetic.
Orny has had one hour stand up specials on Netflix, Comedy Central and his third special “More Than Loud” is airing now on Showtime.
Orny has appeared all over television, most notably on The Tonight Show, Late Night with David Letterman and The Conan O’Brien Show.
And you might also recognize him as Coach from the TV show Teen Wolf which ran for six seasons.

Comedy
Sarah Tiana
Sarah Tiana
Comedy
Most recently, Sarah was featured on the big hit show Roast Battle on Comedy Central in which she was the runner-up in a field of 16 other comics at the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal. She is a regular on @Midnight on Comedy Central, regular on Chelsea Lately, regular/writer on The Josh Wolf Show on CMT, regular at “ignoring red flags.” Writer for Jeff Ross and The Burn, Host of the Roast of Justin Beiber Red Carpet, Host of the CMA’s Red Carpet.
These are the things you know about Sarah Tiana.
What you don’t know is Sarah Tiana has been a “working” comedian/ex-waitress in Los Angeles since 2003. Originally from Calhoun, GA, Sarah's act emphasizes the thrills of growing up after “The War Of Northern Aggression” and trying to survive in the current battle of the sexes. She doesn’t call herself “single,” (she’s too old for that), she prefers to be called “sexually active.”
Sarah’s big break came after she was recognized for her "breakout performance" as Carmen in four episodes of Reno 911's 7th season. In 2005, she helped create a sketch comedy company called The Strait Jacket Society as a way to help young actors in Hollywood accelerate their stage time and gain exposure while still having fun (she has currently put over 500 actors through the program).
A downright ‘Merican, Sarah has done over 12 tours of comedy for the troops including Germany, Singapore, Afghanistan, Guam, Okinawa, and several Wounded Warrior Facilities. A trip to Iraq at the beginning of the war is highlighted in the documentary film, "We Love You Mrs. Bevins.” She has been a correspondent on “The Soup Investigates” as well as “Love You, Mean It” starring Whitney Cummings.
An avid sports fan, Sarah wrote for the ESPY awards and the Rob Riggle NFL segments on FOX. She can be seen at The World Famous Comedy Store, Twitter, and numerous unhealthy relationships in and around Los Angeles. She will never be seen in the three pilots she taped last year or be caught dead in the dress she wore on Craig Ferguson (it no longer fits).
