Spend an evening laughing out loud with Robby Hoffman, the wildly original comedian and Emmy-nominated breakout star of HBO’s Hacks. Known for scene-stealing performances and a voice that’s as bold as it is unpredictable, Hoffman has quickly become one of comedy’s most exciting rising forces.

Fresh off her acclaimed debut Netflix special Wake Up—a no-holds-barred hour of sharp, irreverent stand-up directed by John Mulaney—Hoffman brings her signature blend of fearless storytelling and offbeat perspective to the stage. She can also be seen in HBO’s buzzy new comedy Rooster, continuing a breakout run across television and live performance.

With writing credits on Workin’ Moms and The Chris Gethard Show and a style that turns life’s strangest moments into comedy gold, Hoffman delivers a night that is raw, unpredictable, and relentlessly funny.

Fran Lebowitz—author, satirist, and one of today’s most distinctive cultural voices—comes to Guild Hall for an evening of unfiltered conversation. Rising to prominence with her bestselling essay collections Metropolitan Life and Social Studies, Lebowitz has become a singular figure in American letters and pop culture, known for her sharp intellect, dry humor, and unmistakable style. She is widely recognized for her longstanding commentary on New York City life and her recent appearance in Martin Scorsese’s documentary series Pretend It’s a City.

In this unscripted exchange, Lebowitz offers biting insights on culture, politics, media, and the peculiarities of modern living. Blending comedy with keen social critique, she delivers an evening that is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining—driven by her signature wit and the force of her personality.
