Jordan has built a strong digital following alongside her podcasts — co-hosting the fan-favorite “Bein’ Ian with Jordan” and hosting her own, “RIP Jordan Jensen.” This year, Jordan was spotlighted in Deadline's "The Future Of Funny: 15 Comedians Ready To Break Out In 2025", following her earlier recognition in Vulture’s “Comedians You Should and Will Know”. In 2021, she became the first female comic to win NY’s Funniest Stand-Up Award at the New York Comedy Festival. On stage at the Comedy Cellar, or on screen, Jordan’s comedy blends raw storytelling with fearless honesty, pulling from her unconventional upbringing and experiences on the road.

Born in Brooklyn and raised in a large Hasidic Jewish family before moving to Montreal, The New York Times describes Robby as a “bulldozing stand-up,” comparing her to Larry David, noting her “mountain-out-of-a-molehill kvetching, but her hilarious rage makes her sound like a modern lesbian Andrew ‘Dice’ Clay.” The New York Times also praised her Patreon podcast Too Far as "an addictive listen.” Robby Hoffman has been hailed as “the future of comedy” by The Daily Beast, “an original comic talent” by The Wall Street Journal, and a “delightful oddball” by The Hollywood Reporter, while Decider wrote that “to witness her performance is to see someone who stands out so distinctly from her contemporaries."

In his book, Rife reveals (without apology, of course) what led him to becoming comedy’s biggest lightning rod before he reached thirty, in a story full of bold and hysterical takes on everything from rap battles with ex-cons to Matt’s struggles with depression and his many brushes with failure before finally hitting it big.
