A renowned standup comedian and actor is hitting the Orpheum Theatre stage this summer.
Maria Bamford will take the stage for a night of laughs on Sunday, June 26, at 7:00 pm.
Awarded Best Club Comic at the American Comedy Awards and Breakout Comedy Star at the Montreal Comedy Festival, her critically acclaimed work includes her web series “The Maria Bamford Show,” “Ask My Mom,” and her Netflix series “Lady Dynamite.”
Stephen Colbert called her his “favorite comedian on earth” and Judd Apatow said she is “the funniest woman in the world.” Maria is the first female comic to have two half-hour “Comedy Central Presents” specials. And now, two well-received specials on Netflix called “The Special Special Special” and “Old Baby.”
She has contributed comedic voiceovers for such animations as Netflix’s “Big Mouth” and “BoJack Horseman,” Cartoon Network’s “Adventure Time,” PBS’s Emmy-winning series “Word Girl,” Nickelodeon’s “Kung Fu Panda” and “Legend of Korra,” and the international hit “Talking Tom and Friends.”
It’s not just acting or comedy too. Maria’s writing has been featured in The New York Times, LA Weekly, and The Onion. She has 5 hours of stand-up available on iTunes, including her latest recording “20%.”
Beyond comedy, she’s been presented with The OCD Foundation’s Illumination Award and featured at the Psychotherapy Networker Symposium, The Chautauqua Institution, and the Saks Institute for Mental Health Law, Policy, and Ethics Symposium.
Tickets to see Bamford at The Orpheum Theatre are $25 and will be available online beginning Monday, April 18, and in-person at The Orpheum Box Office the following Tuesday.
