This is a smart, funny show. People came expecting the worst and left delightfully surprised.

But that doesn't stop me from trying. Jackie Hoffman on Broadway.com.

I must admit, Douglas's lines are killers, and I really don't need to go elsewhere.The audience reaction to this show has been thrilling. Hoffman treaded the boards in musical productions of Hairspray, Xanadu, The Addams Family and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The audience will not make it that easy. This goddess of comedy is finally …

I actually get paid to sit on stage and listen to Kerry Butler sing "Magic." The positive reviews have been well deserved.

Jackie Hoffman was born on November 29, 1960 as Jacqueline Laura Hoffman.

She is an actress and writer, known for Garden State (2004), Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) and A Dirty Shame (2004). He has written me great jokes, which I love to deliver, and I have learned never to get bored with a joke, because I can't coast through them.

I was in the hospital recovering from major surgery when my agent called me with the offer of the workshop.

And of course, I write for myself. As strong as my joke writers are, I want to bust out and do my own thing.

I have also had the honor of having Paul Rudnick write for me, as well as David Sedaris. Off-B'way: Once Upon a Mattress, A Chanukah Charol, The Gingerbread House, The Book of Liz (Obie Award), Straightjacket, LCT Festival and One Woman Shoe.

Jackie Hoffman can be heard on the original Broadway cast recordings of Hairspray, Xanadu, The Addams Family, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the revival Broadway cast recording of On the Town, and the PS Classics' recording of Jackie Hoffman: Live at Joe's Pub released Fall 2008. The workshop came at a major cost. Sometimes to the chagrin of the author. The hilarious Jackie Hoffman is bringing her gift for landing a punch line to the new Broadway musical Xanadu.

I had already taken a leave from a play to have the surgery and was anxious to return to the play after a four-week recovery period, which was two weeks shorter than my doctor recommended.
