“If You Were a Lesbo, You’d Have Been All Turned On By That”

posted by on October 2 at 11:07 AM

In the Stranger Suggests I wrote this week about the Comedians of Comedy, I woefully did not have enough room to wax melodic about my absolute favorite female comedienne, Maria Bamford. My favorite bits of hers always have her performing characters—she’s also a professional voice actress and her impressions are superb. Here’s a video, and don’t miss her tomorrow night at the Showbox.

On a bad day, everything sucks. But don't take it out on Maria.

I love her. I wish I could make it to The Showbox tonight, but it's too expensive and I'm a cheap bastard. :(

The Bammer is great. She has a brilliant one-woman show over at SuperDeluxe.com.

ugh. THAT'S good stand-up these days? Yikes. I'm going to read P.G. Wodehouse for laughs until somebody funny comes along.

Seth -- The Comedians of Comedy have actually been dubbed "alternative standup". Take that however you will.

Maria is awesome and I'm totally stoked on tomorrow night. Haters need to shut up and go watch their precious Dane Cook.

Love her, that was great.

#Seth 8, I think you're TRYING not to fit in here and probably smoke a tobacco pipe for "effect".
