Robby Hoffman will bring her stand-up to the New Jersey Performing Arts Center on Thursday, Nov. 19, 2026, at 8:00 p.m., with tickets set to go on sale Friday, May 22, at 11:00 a.m.
The booking lands at a moment when Hoffman’s profile is rising fast. She is Emmy-nominated for playing Randi on HBO’s Hacks, and her debut Netflix special, Wake Up, has added another layer to her audience. Directed by John Mulaney, the special digs into Hoffman growing up in a large Hasidic family, discovering her sexuality and pushing toward comedic success.
That mix of sharp stage work and personal storytelling has already carried Hoffman beyond a single breakout role. Her comedy has also been featured on HBO’s Rooster and FX’s Dying for Sex, giving her a résumé that now stretches across stand-up, television and special work. For NJPAC, the date offers a chance to see that range live, with the theater setting likely to suit material that moves between autobiography and tightly written punch lines.
The timing matters because the show arrives after Wake Up has introduced Hoffman to a broader audience and before the live date gives fans a new way to see the material and the performer behind it. Ticket sales on May 22 will be the first test of how much demand has built around the comedian ahead of the November appearance.
What comes next is simple: fans who want seats will have to move quickly when sales open, and Hoffman’s NJPAC appearance will show how far her growing visibility has carried her from screen work back to the stage.
