Comedian, author, and producer Phoebe Robinson is back with her sharpest, funniest, and most relatable stand-up comedy special yet — I Don’t Wanna Work Anymore.
With her signature mix of wit, warmth, and whip-smart social commentary, Robinson dives into the chaotic hilarity of modern adulthood — where ambition meets burnout, self-care costs money, and “having it all” feels like a scam.
From the pressures of hustle culture to the absurdities of dating, therapy, and finding peace in a world that never stops emailing, Phoebe unpacks what it means to keep your sanity (and your sense of humor) when you’re tired of pretending everything’s fine.
Filmed in front of a sold-out audience, I Don’t Wanna Work Anymore captures Phoebe at her most candid and confident — a comedian fully in command of her voice, giving us the collective permission slip we’ve all been waiting for: it’s okay to tap out, laugh it off, and take a damn break.
Phoebe Robinson: I Don’t Wanna Work Anymore — a hilarious and heartfelt reminder that maybe, just maybe, quitting isn’t the end — it’s the beginning of something real.
