Plot summary
She's savagely upbeat. Lovably awkward. And full of surprises. A wildly funny trip through a one-of-a-kind comic mind.

I freaking love Maria Bamford
Probably for the fans but refreshingly different
I'm probably a psycho, weirdo, loner or whatever but I enjoyed this. Maria Bamford's comedy focuses on mental health issues so it's probably an acquired taste anyway and I don't think the humour could work unless you can associate with the 'stream of thought' she's in.
The show goes from her performing her routine alone in the mirror to a full theater audience (well partially), which made me feel like I shared a personal journey, well sort of, not sure if that was the intention - or if it matters really. I'm also a fan of 'Lady Dynamite' too so that may influence my opinion.
Ten years ago Christopher Hitchins famously said women 'aren't funny' but don't think he'd seen Maria Bamford perform.
Too Weird
Too weird for me. Lots of strange voices, movements and gestures. The jokes aren't that good and the audience laughing seems forced. It is also quite creepy sometimes. That might be intentional, but, it is not what I'm looking for in a comedy show. I give it 3, because, it is put together in quite an original way. I have seen worse, but, it's not good.
