I would take a guess and say maria has enough people in her head to fill that audience anyway. Shes genius, Love her lol.

[@Inkkink]

My favourite comedian. Do one open mic and you'll know how hard this was.

[@66flamer]

Inkkink absolutely hell yes. I've done open mics as a juggler comic

[@sidzother7841]

Imagine people knowing you are doing a falling down the stairs gag alone in silence while you do it

[@Juventinos]

maria is amazing. she's one of the smartest comedians out there, she's the closest this thing, standup, ever come to art.

[@irvingfreely1822]

I met my wife through a personals website, Yahoo in fact. Neither of us was there thinking about getting married when we started to see each other, but we started to talk to each other during recharging time.. One thing led to another and now we have been married for 17 yrs, and I find new things about her every day that makes me love with her even more! I truly believe that out love is a real miracle. Miss Bamford, you keep doing your standup, and I will keep laughing.

aw

[@thehumanhighlightreel7846]

The Raisin Bran Bowl!! That part killed me

[@edsmeds7233]

Love the premise and the editing! Seems to dwell in self-awareness. Bamford's comedy is often in-facing so this was groovy.

[@michaelpolidore554]

Well this was ahead of its time...

[@mloclam7]

Killed it.

[@hausofvishy8695]

This woman makes me so happy haha 💖💖

[@RayRaeTV]

I love Bamford so much. She's an amazing depressed comic.

[@timdaughte]

This is a perfect vehicle for Ms. Bamford. I imagine that she is like this 24/7, but I could be wrong.

[@murpaderp8461]

Theses "other comedians" ruin it a bit for me. It should just be the audience.

[@skjamog]

Yeah really sucked the fun out of it

[@theindiediary5950]

I have no clue why they are shown.

[@BrookJolley]

Hah holy shit what an interesting concept for a show. Hadn't heard this show exists. I practiced my material sometimes alone in an empty room before I ever did an open mic, god it's weird to have NO feedback.

[@echamber]

Reading these comments has restored my faith - thank u xoxoxoxo

[@s0ngf0rx]

as someone incredibly insecure and anxious and constantly down about myself and my failures, its a little unnerving seeing it reflected back at me through maria but its also a little inspiring to see how brave she is to be so vulnerable in front of countless strangers. thanks

[@LackofEthics]

2:27 I like that I knew that was her mom immediately

[@finnmccool7543]

I love you Maria!

[@dustypartition]

I'd love it if she could hear the cameraman laugh just once.

[@mastersoftoday]

if i was the cameraman i would probably just fucking lose it at some point

[@Scorpio7500]

this is such a cool premise for standup

[@simon01ize]

So wonderful!

[@fosterch11]

Brilliant . Maria hilarity

[@simonrandall5471]

Bam!

[@VaiScion]

Incredible.

[@cristoirfuailalainn3362]

it's a good thing they kept explaining the premise over and over talk about high-concept am i right (!)

[@patlowney2834]

It was kind of funny the way she started screaming like Sam Kinison

[@aquamarine0023]

Hahahaha!!! Yes that scream was totally Kinison-esque!! 😂😂😂😂

[@XskiXedgeX]

That wasn't 7 minutes.

[@superneko99]

XskiXedgeX it's edited

[@8OH3_]

The bald comic was annoying. Going to watch his... if it’s up, because I’ve never heard of him. Maria, however, is hilarious as always.

[@nrmdm]

oh boy

[@Nieosoba]

she is a genius

[@CaptainTimJJ]

Kinison tier scream 4:16

[@0gtriple0gmastodon56]

damn maria rules so hard no matter what

[@66flamer]

I can see the sadistic stand-up comic when he thought of this idea... Oh I'll take away exactly what helps me do show and see if I can fly with no front windshield on the plane that I'm flying way up in the sky. It's a great idea

[@markyncole]

7 Minutes in Purgatory? But the video is 6:39,where's the last 21 seconds?

[@TheVampB]

The editing is... well the TV audience won't get most of the jokes.

[@lonnypaalman3805]

She falling down the steps was rich.

[@eoinosullivan1470]

1st

[@drummer37]

This would be much more interesting if we could watch it in silence too. Seeing and hearing the audience kind of kills the whole point.

[@kwanarchive]

Maria's released one special where it was just her doing her routines in her living room. She can do it.

[@themaggattack]

It seems a lot more poignant and looks a lot more insane in silence.

[@mschickie007]

More like what future shows are going to look like In late 2020...😨

[@captainapaullo]

I lurve to watch lady comics and I lurve huh...

[@dannychan2177]

Maria is great, but this is a bad idea for a show. There's no point of having everyone watch what's supposed to be a live, interactive performance on a screen. At the very best, you just get the most basic, rehearsed version of their set with no adjustments based on audience reactions. If you bring up something that's kind of touchy and there's a lull in the audience, you have to address it. If a joke bombs, you have to address it. If you don't, you're just left with this weird, awkward energy in the room. It makes the comics look sub-par and the audience doesn't benefit. This is like doing stand up in front of a mirror or a webcam. Also, the edits suck. When I watch stand up, I never want to see the face of an audience member. I know it's a short cut for editors to show some audience reactions, but it always takes me out of moment of the show, even more than a the fact that I'm watching it through a screen already does.

[@corlfranco9371]

to me she will always be a 10 valley girl megan full of makeup no matter what. love is blind

[@MrX-ny3jv]

what an absolutely strange and pointless gimmick.

[@WhatMouse]

bad premise

[@adamriekert1984]

Horrible

[@virtuosomaximoso1]

This women makes me sad.

[@enterusername2084]

virtuosomaximoso1 and you make women sad

[@echamber]

virtuosomaximoso1 Hahhaa that's sad

[@corlfranco9371]

oof

[@ylime74]

Your grammar makes me sad.

[@jynnxed-1013]

At what point was she funny. Ellen Degenneres is funny. This woman is not.

[@themaggattack]

Jynnxed -101 They are both hilarious in their own, unique ways. No comparison necessary.

[@rs2705]

Ellen and Maria have COMPLETELY different comedy styles.. The commonality is what? The fact that they're women? Grow up
