Mixed · 2No other details have been revealed, including where or when it will be recorded or a release date. Mixed · 2Hoffman has previously worked with Netflix on Verified Stand-Up, Workin’ Moms and Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney, and has headlined the Netflix Is a Joke festival. Left · 3Outside stand-up, she was Emmy-nominated for outstanding guest actress in a comedy series for HBO's Hacks, stars in HBO's Rooster opposite Steve Carell, appeared in FX's Dying for Sex, and is developing a series, UnEntitled, in which she will write, executive produce and star.

Left · 3Coverage also quotes praise for her act: Mulaney called her a "total original" in a Netflix Is a Joke appearance with David Letterman, according to The Hollywood Reporter, while Variety compared her to "a young, queer Larry David" and Deadline described her as a queer ex-Hasidic comic from Brooklyn known for an intense, direct style.

Every sentence links to the reporting it rests on. The pill in front of each says where its sources sit: Left, Centre or Right when one side supplies at least half of them, Mixed when they are evenly split. The number is how many outlets it cites.
