I've been listening to Maria Bamford for about 6 months now, and just started watching the free Xmas special and it's great, almost like seeing her in person (which in Australia seems so unlikely). I have her CDs in my car on a cycle with other comedians.
I recently started doing stand-up comedy myself and she's a huge inspiration, and it's daunting because it took her, what, 15 years to start making her own CDs? And she still hasn't achieved the kind of fame she deserves, I mean, she should be the next president. (I'm imagining her on TV doing her friend-from-high-school voice, "I don't think we should invade Iraq anymore.")
My favourite bit is the baby jesus / baby devil routine. I feel so ashamed to say that, I mean out of all the awesome material, but I do.
