  • Comedian, actress and writer Maria Bamford was raised in Duluth, Minnesota and began her stand-up career at the age of 19. Her first of four stand-up albums, The Burning Bridges Tour, was released in 2003. She toured with The Comedians of Comedy to promote the album, which also led to a documentary series on Comedy Central and Showtime. Other stand-up albums include How to WIN! (2007), Unwanted Thoughts Syndrome (2009), and Ask Me About My New God! (2013). She has also released two full length stand-up video recordings, most recently The Special Special Special! (2012), and is the first woman to have two Comedy Central Presents specials air. In 2016, Maria was the executive producer and star of a Netflix series based on her own life, Lady Dynamite, in which she plays a fictionalized character version of herself. She has also appeared in cameos and recurring roles on many widely lauded comedy series such as Arrested Development, Louie, The Sarah Silverman Program, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, and more. Maria is also a very talented voice over artist, and has provided recurring character voices for such shows as Adventure Time, BoJack Horseman, The Legend of Korra, CatDog, and many more. In addition to these very prominent stand-up and TV appearances, Maria is widely known for her "cult" web series The Maria Bamford Show and Ask My Mom, in which Maria writes and performs as the sole actor, doing impressions of various other characters.

    As a chick with bipolar from the Midwest, Maria will remain my hero forever. I'd love to meet her one day and thank her profusely for helping me to continue to not give up, and that laughing at myself is sometimes the best medicine. Bam bam ❤️

    As a long time fan of Maria, this is one of her best shows. It's sincere, full of wisdom, and has some of her best bits. I come back to it at least once per year as a reminder to keep being unapologetically oneself. Maria, thank you for your courage.

    I never get tired of Maria, Lady Dynamite is one of the greatest comedy shows ever made and she is a hero to those of us whom struggle with the stigma of mental illness. I honestly believe Maria Bamford will be like Poe in that future humans will see her as a great artists that wasn't appreciated enough in her time. When the Amy Schumers of the world are long dismissed as hacks, Maria Bamford will be a legend.

    a GEM of hidden performances. Audience the size of a book club, she devoted all of herself for 1-hour, when she could have kept it to 20-minutes.

    It is actually very important for everyone's mental health to have hobbies and interests outside of work because it is not good to just use your brain in that capacity. When you pursue other interests outside of work, there is no pressure on yourself, and it allows you to use your creativity or to just freestyle until you find something that gives you pleasure to do on a regular basis. It will certainly make you a much more interesting person, and you will develop into a well-rounded individual.
