Maria Bamford is revered for her deeply personal and experimental comedy about mental illness. She starred in a surreal, semi-autobiographical film about a comedian who suffers a nervous breakdown, and is the star of three unconventional hour-long stand-up specials.

Maria was the first female comic to have two half-hour specials on a well-known comedy cable channel, and starred alongside Patton Oswalt, Zach Galifianakis and Brian Posehn in a series on that same channel. She also created and starred in the cult hit web series The Maria Bamford Show, in which she plays all the characters. Maria was also Emmy-nominated for a guest appearance.
