Audrey Hobert stopped by the NPR office to perform her first-ever Tiny Desk Concert.
Hobert ran through a selection of tracks from her 2025 album Who’s the Clown?. She kicked things off with “Shooting Star,” a shuffling, quickfire single, and followed it up with “Thirst Trap.” Before running through the Friends-referencing “Phoebe,” Hobert joked, “I’ve seen all but one and a half seasons. I saw what I needed to see, got what I needed, and I wrote the song.”
Recent Performances and Tour Dates
She kept the set going with a rendition of “Sex and the City,” followed by her breakout track “Sue Me”. Before playing the latter, Hobert said, “Sometimes when you’re a burgeoning artist, you have one hit… I would classify this as a hit.” It’s easy to see why the song has caught on, with Hobert’s signature charm, pinpoint delivery, and clever lyrics on display.
Hobert released her debut album Who’s the Clown? back in August 2025; since then, she’s embarked on her first-ever headlining tour, performed on The Tonight Show and Triple J’s “Like a Version” series, and played to large crowds at Governors Ball, Lollapalooza, and Outside Lands. She’s got a new stretch of US tour dates to come this fall, serving as her biggest headlining shows yet.
