Welcome to Leduc’s 2nd Annual Drag Show – an evening of celebration, community, and unapologetic self-expression, hosted at the Leduc Drama Society.

So join us at the Leduc Drama Society for a night of fierce drag performances, radiant community spirit, and powerful, joyful resistance. Every ticket, every laugh, every clap helps us take one step closer to a future where no young person in Leduc ever has to wonder if they belong, because they’ll already know they do.

Robby Hoffman is an ex-Hasidic queer Jewish stand-up comedian, writer, and true original. Robby is a new cast member on HBO Max’s "Hacks", premiering April 10. She also has a recurring role in the FX series "Dying For Sex" opposite Michelle Williams and currently can be seen as the breakout of Netflix’s "Verified". New York Times comedy critic Jason Zinoman compares her "bulldozing stand-up to Larry David because of her mountain-out-of-a-molehill kvetching, but her hilarious rage over people who complain about interruptions during a conversation makes her sound like a modern lesbian Andrew Dice Clay." Also a favorite of The Times is her podcast, Too Far, which is described as an "addictive listen." She was named one of Vulture's Top “Comedians to Watch,” one of Comedy Central's “Up Next” comedians, and was on Conan O’Brien’s “Comics to Watch” list. She has performed numerous times at the Montreal Just for Laughs festival and has twice headlined the New York Comedy Festival. She recorded her first one-hour stand up special "I’m Nervous in Toronto", available on CraveTV, and can also be seen in "History of the World" on Hulu. Robby is also a notable TV writer, having written on "The Chris Gethard Show" (TruTV), "Workin' Moms" (Netflix), and "Baroness Von Sketch Show" (IFC). In 2019, Robby won a Daytime Emmy Award for her writing work on "Odd Squad" (PBS).
