Just finished reading this and thought it was thought-provoking from a feminist viewpoint.

‘Being offended isn’t the worst thing. Being poor is’: how Robby Hoffman became a controversial comedy sensation

She has suddenly become one of the world’s most successful comedians, with a hit Netflix special, an Emmy-nominated role in Hacks and another opposite Steve Carell. But many of her jokes raise hackles. Is she a genius – or an edgelord?

Thought I'd give this a nudge . Her sketch about pronouns is very funny. I think it's out on YouTube. Even five years ago she'd have been destroyed for that. On the other hand she is a little ambivalent - and had top surgery.

I think fundamentally she’s interesting to me because she doesn’t appear to compromise her authenticity - that quality which seems so prized by Gen Z but ultimately just becomes another demand for conformity.

This is a woman who most certainly does not conform.

Thanks for this. I liked her character in Rooster, I didn’t know she was a stand-up. Interesting interview 🙏
