Me, my wife, and my daughter all ADORE Maria's comedy. We have heard all of her live albums and we watch the Maria Bamford Show many times over. It gives something new to us every time.
I think the best result of all of this is our tight-knit little family commando squad have their own "Mariaesque" language we use that is only meaningful to us (and any Maria Bamford fans). For instance, we sing along with the radio using Amy Slieverson's voice. My daughter calls me Poppy now, because I am already beginning to have to clear my throat often. And we frequently quote from her stand up set because so much of it pertains to our own experiences.
I don't know how often Ms. Bamford checks these boards, but I really wanted to thank her. It is not an overstatement to say that her comedy has brought us even closer together.
My daughter wants to be a comedian when she grows up... something we are encouraging her with as we would encourage anything she would want to do. Maria Bamford is by far her favorite comedian.
Thanks for everything!
With much love from our family to you and yours,
