Jackie Hoffman: It's Over, Who Has Weed?

The hilariously loud and grumpy Jackie Hoffman has stolen countless scenes onstage (e.g., Hairspray) and screen (e.g., Only Murders in the Building), and memorably lost a 2017 Emmy for her supporting turn in Feud: Bette and Joan. She's a cranky character comedian to the core, and a throwback to the golden age of nightclub acts, when performers overflowed with larger-than-life personality; she hasn't mellowed with success, and her robust whine gets even better with age. Her latest set at Joe's Pub is directed as usual by Michael Schiralli.
