What Reviewers Say About Maria Bamford

Maria is featured as Los Angeles Magazine’s Comic to Watch — Best of Sophomore Class April/May 2005

She comes across as a smart and spot-on cultural anthropologist, turning observations into stellar impersonations. (Do you know the precise differences, for example, between an Edina woman, a woman who works for a dating service, and a porn star?)

Bamford's vocal cords should be registered as a national treasure... hugely entertaining and extremely funny.

Bamford has crafted a sometimes uncomfortable but mostly brilliant show with a strong resonance for anyone who has ever felt misunderstood and misplaced in their family. Highly recommended.

By the end of the [Melbourne International Comedy] Festival we may want to claim the benevolent Bamford, in the now honourable Australian tradition of taking the best from overseas if we can make a tenuous link.

FIVE STARS (*****) [Bamford’s act is] intelligent comedy, brilliantly written gags and a blend of quiet indignation and almost-visionary insight that characterise all the best US comics. When you have gags this smart and a style that original, you [are] in a league of your own.

— Scotland Herald   Read the review in detail

Maria provides a distinctive delivery and vivid impression of a whole vacuous society [with] eerie accuracy.

— Sunday Herald (UK)   Read the review in detail

[She has] sly viciousness, tart perspectives. [She is ] a comic gem. This is satisfyingly idiosyncratic stand-up.

Bamford shines!

— Chicago Tribune

Stream of Consciousness Monologues and an odd, edgy sense of humor.

— Minneapolis Star-Tribune

“Hot Ticket Pick” Bamford is wonderfully bizarre on stage!

— Minneapolis Reader

Don’t go see her because she's a female. Go see her for her brain and her cool, dry hilarious wit.

— Skyway News (Minneapolis)

She delivers the comedy most folks hanker for with enough social commentary to make it even more engaging!

— Minneapolis City Pages

Her material is a surprising and fresh as her performance.

— Minnesota Daily

Catch her before she becomes the next Hollywood “IT” girl.

— St. Paul Pioneer Press
