-Welcome back, everybody.
Our next guest is an Emmy-nominated actor,
who's a very funny comedian
you know from her work on "Hacks."
Tickets to her tour are available now,
and her stand-up special, "Wake Up,"
is streaming on Netflix. Let's take a look.
-Fellas, you have a gay thought,
you keep that [bleep] to yourself.
You keep that [bleep] to yourself.
They're not allowed to be a little gay,
but still, they got to get the little gay out somehow.
It's still there. It's going to seep the [bleep] out.
But they can only get the gay out in the ways
that are appropriate, the ways that are socially acceptable.
Right? That's why they play football.
[ Laughter ]
Even gayer -- they watch it.
There's no other way to explain.
A dude will wear a shirt with another man's name on it.
I'm not making this up, but dude will --
[ Laughter ]
Excuse me. He'll go to the store, he'll purchase a shirt.
He'll pay extra to have another man's
name embroidered onto the shirt.
-Please welcome to the show Robby Hoffman, everybody.
[ Cheers and applause ] ♪♪

-Ah -So happy you're here.
-Wow. Perfect chair. -Perfect. It's a good chair.
It's been tested a lot over the years.
-Sometimes they're too big for me.
-Oh, this is a good one. I'm glad you like it.
-This is a good one.
-I've heard you say in a lot of interviews,
your special is one of the greatest specials
in recent history.
-I don't say it because it's mine.
I say it because it's true.
Don't take it from me.
-I'm just gonna -- I'm echoing it.
I want to back up the sentiment. -Thank you.
-I thought it was absolutely fantastic.
-By the grace of God,
can you imagine how good that special was?
-Oh! I don't have to imagine it.
You can watch it.
-It's unreal. Unreal.
-It's also put you in a weird situation
because I would love for you to use this platform
to promote your tour, but you don't need to.
There's very few tickets left.
-Well, we have -- You know what, I --
We checked the tickets.
The tour has sold out faster than anything has sold out.
I'm the Trump of of comedians. That's what's happening.
This has been a tour that has sold out like my tour.
No, we actually have --
The only seats left are accessible seats.
So if you're a bitch in a wheelchair, you're in luck.
