Maria Bamford

Couldn't see a thread for her.

Anyone else a fan of her work?
I think she's great, one of the best around just now.

Going to New York in April, hopefully get tickets to see her at some point.

Yes, love her stuff, have all three of her albums. I think she's more or less unknown over here.

Ha, from her name I was expecting a Joyce Grenfell type from the '50s.

I have now Googled, and she is very much not.

Love her stuff and her!

It would be great if she had more exposure in these here parts although she was on The News Quiz a few years back (obviously not the best show for her to thrive). She also had a short set on the compilation of Jon Oliver's New York Stand-up show that was shown on C4 late last year.

Frankie Boyle often recommends her when asked who his favourite acts are (not sarcasm).

Yeah, she's quality. I got into her after Matthew mentioned her on here once, and since downloaded.. sorry.. bought, all her specials. She's excellent. Her bit on 'the standard comedy routine' is a beautiful joke.
