The Bammer's back in town!

[Steve]

HELLO, GRAVY BOATS!


I am living in a gravy boat filled with gravy. Just got back from touring in a van with Brian Posehn, Patton Oswalt, Eugene Mirman, John Mulraney and the tour director, Henry Owings of www.chunklet.com . Lots of fun. Learned a lot about heavy metal and lap dancing. Heavy metal drummers often suffer from carpal tunnel and lap dances are better on solid ground. Sometimes they are in a limousine, moving at 45 miles an hour and that can be dangerous. We went to 4 Cracker Barrels, 3 Bob Evans and 1 Perkins. I listened to “Full Catastrophe Living” by John Kabat-Zinn on CD. We farted and kept the windows closed. I got heckled a few times and stayed in the moment and took deep breaths, per John Kabat-Zinn. “What is really happening? Someone is yelling at me to ‘Get off’. Breathe. What does this remind you of? Last night. In Buffalo.” I watched “Heckler”- a new documentary by Jamie Kennedy about the phenomena of heckling. It was very good. Breathe in. Breathe Out. Drinking a diet coke, mindfully. Delicious nectar of fizzy friendship and joy and community trickles down my throat. Free refills at truck stops.

Sincerely and with appropriate love for the type of relationship we have,

Maria B.




Career deets:

WordGirl on PBS airing - I’m Violet (WordGirl’s spacey pal) and Mrs. Botsford (WordGirl’s Mother).

Back to the Barnyard on Nickelodeon - I’m Mrs Beady, the misunderstood, medicated farmwife next to Omni sexual cows (all with udders).

Fox Sketch Pilot - with Comedy Death Ray- is still on the desk of the Fox. It is/was called “The Right Now Show” and it was fun to work with others.

Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job - get to do another “The New You” sketch- don’t know when it airs. I eat cat poop (organic brownies).

SUPERDELUXE SHOWS! There will be 20 in all- am shooting 18, 19, 20 soon- and then, onto something different. They might put out a DVD if enough are interested? This week "The Maria Bamford Show" is on the Funny Shows page!

I see a lot of NorCal performances but I don't think I'll be able to make any. I am bummed and really need a car to drive. The thing I enjoy most about Maria's shows is hearing a joke changed around because it's like hearing a new joke and I like hearing new jokes.

I'm all set to go to see the CoC on Friday! Boo-yah! This time I did my best to get a group of people to come, but only a few were able to get tickets before the show sold out.
SLP, it's a shame you can't make it on Friday. Surely you can find a way to get to SF by February to see Maria at the Punchline. Invite a friend with a car! Maybe we can meet her again, and score another voice mail from the Baby Jesus.

Well the first day she is doing her bit in Feb. I am going to see an Amy Sedaris interview in San Francisco. I highly doubt I will go see Maria the next day since it takes forever to get there. I can put on my jet boots though and try to make it
