"what is it i love so much about maria? is it her low-key yet somehow still spirited delivery? the fact that she mostly works "clean" yet is still hysterically funny? maybe it's because she used to play the violin. all i can say is GOD BLESS HER b/c she is my sunshine on a cloudy day! such a unique voice. such an original performer. ALWAYS a go-to girl for "the funny" and ALWAYS a little bit...well, on the wonderously off-beat and "odd" side! i enjoyed every aspect of this, her latest production--and i loved the webclips on the bonus dvd so much i IMMEDIATELY watched them back to back all over again the next day b/c they gave me such a "high." so yourself a favour--order this for yourself or give it to someone you love as a gift--you CANNOT go wrong with maria bamford!"
Bizarre and beautiful!

"Unbalanced minds are a wonderful thing. While they're tipping to and fro they reveal a little of what's underneath the facade of everyday workaday world. Much is revealed by Maria. She sees humanity in a different light, both sharp and soft, like her face which has piercing eyes and and a compassionate heart showing showing through. She's definitely evolving, and it's scary to think where she'll go next. She is my absolute favorite humorist/comic, and I recommend you not only buy this cd (and all her cd's), but buy them for the people you love. She is the gift that keeps on giving. About the dvd. Why she isn't sought after for films and tv is beyond me. Maybe it's her good taste. It's hard to place her character playing potential because she shines in all directions she chooses. I measure acting skill by the ability to change appearance without extreme makeup and effects. Here we have a mighty chasm between the exquisite shy dater and the exquisite though disturbing Pastor Dan. The rest is, as Maria says, gravy. Exquisite gravy."
Lovely

"The audio portion is fantastic. In addition, you get a DVD of her show from Superdeluxe (which makes this worth getting in and of itself).
Buy this or I will kill you."

"so i dug her first album, i thought it had good jokes, then her second album i thought kinda had bad jokes, now this one comes out and i don't know if it's exactly comedy but after listening to this and watching her maria bamford show which some of this material is from it's like batpoop insane, like she is the most avant garde mofo alive. it seems like the descent into madness premise isn't that far from reality.
"
You either get it or you don't.

"I do. Maria Bamford is not the kind of comedian to do setup/punchline material most of the time. She is more abstract and sometimes surreal. I like the risks she takes! Maria is the right kind of weird. She and Patton Oswalt are my new favorite comedians."
