242 - Maria Bamford

It's hard to imagine a more expressive, searingly honest and comprehensively funny comic than Maria Bamford. After a year which saw her series and new special on Netflix propel her finally to the earning that befits her talent, Maria reflects on how money, property and prestige don't solve anything, what it's like to be an ex-underdog, and whether it's possible to make a not for profit TV show. We also cover the relationship between her bipolar and her day to day happiness, and ask how you function when "weakness is the brand"...  <a href="https://twitter.com/mariabamfoo" target="_blank">@MariaBamfoo</a><a href="http://mariabamford.com/" target="_blank">mariabamford.com</a> See Stu on tour: <a href="http://www.comedianscomedian.com/tour" target="_blank">www.comedianscomedian.com/tour</a> Get ad-free new episodes, bonus content from interviews and much more by joining the Insiders Club at <a href="https://create.acast.com/episodes/9420b137-9707-43d6-a6f1-0eae4a4149e9/www.comedianscomedian.com/insiders" target="_blank">www.comedianscomedian.com/insiders</a> Hosted on Acast.
