The Great Maria Bamford- ONE NIGHT ONLY!
Maria Bamford stars in the semi-autobiographical Netflix comedy series Lady Dynamite, lauded as “revelatory” by Entertainment Weekly and one of 2016’s must-see shows by Variety and Rolling Stone. The series was created by Mitch Hurwitz (Arrested Development) and Pam Brady (South Park).
Maria is the creator and star of Maria Bamford: the special special special and of the cult hit web series The Maria Bamford Show, which screened at the Museum of Art and Design. She was the first female comic to have two half-hour Comedy Central Presents specials and starred alongside Patton Oswalt, Zach Galifianakis and Brian Posehn in the Comedy Central series The Comedians of Comedy and Netflix’s Comedians of Comedy: The Movie.
Maria voices characters on numerous animated series including BoJack Horseman, Adventure Time, Legend of Korra, Puss in Boots and PBS’s Emmy- winning series Word Girl. She can also be heard voicing lead roles on Fox’s Golan the Insatiable and Yahoo’s Talking Tom & Friends.
Maria recurred as DeBrie Bardeaux on Netflix’s Arrested Development reboot, for which she was praised as a “standout” (TIME) and “perhaps one of the high points of the entire new season” (Black Book Magazine). She has also recurred on USA’s Benched and currently recurs on the ABC hit Fresh Off the Boat. Her new special Old Baby is available on Netflix.
Maria Bamford is revered for her deeply personal and experimental comedy about
mental illness. She’s the author of the New York Times bestselling memoir Sure,
I’ll Join Your Cult and is the star of four hour-long standup specials (Local Act,
Weakness is the Brand, Old Baby and Maria Bamford: the special, special,
special!) and the surreal, semi-autobiographical Netflix comedy series Lady
Dynamite, about a comedian who suffers a nervous breakdown. Maria was the first
female comic to have two half-hour Comedy Central Presents specials and starred
alongside Patton Oswalt, Zach Galifianakis and Brian Posehn in The Comedians of
Comedy. She also created and starred in the cult hit web series The Maria Bamford
Show, in which she plays all the characters.
Maria is often recognized for her prolific voiceover work, including characters on
Big Mouth and its spinoff Human Resources, HouseBroken, Teenage Euthanasia,
Santa, Inc., Bob’s Burgers, Bojack Horseman, Summer Camp Island, Adventure
Time, Talking Tom and Friends, Legend of Korra, Puss in Boots, CatDog and
PBS’s Emmy-winning series Word Girl. She played DeBrie Bardeaux on Netflix’s

appearance on the Netflix children’s series Ask the StoryBots.

Night with Seth Meyers, CONAN, The Late Late Show with James Corden and
The Tonight Show. Her interview series What’s Your Ailment? deals with the
various mental struggles of celebrities and is available on the Topic streaming
