With her menagerie of voices and characters and keen insight into human psychology, comedian Maria Bamford has been a darling of fans of smart, eccentric humor since the early 1990s. Bamford began her career while in college, and her cartoonish portrayals of secretarial and temporary work, as well as glimpses of her inner dialogue with dysfunctional family members and bosses, were seen on television comedy showcases throughout the ’90s.
Since then, Bamford, affectionately known as “The Bammer,” has become recognized for her talent – as evidenced not only by her numerous television and film appearances, including those on Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! and the Comedians of Comedy tour, but also in those borderline-disturbing Target commercials aired during the 2010 Christmas shopping season.
Bamford will perform at the Oriental Theater, 4335 West 44th Avenue, tonight at 8 p.m. (doors open at 7); Adam Cayton-Holland will open the show. Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door; for more information, visit theorientaltheater.com or mariabamford.com.
