Maria Bamford | Live from Here with Chris Thile

[@fistyann8434]

The Maria Bamford Show helped me through a wicked hard time. She is The. Best.

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Yep, gotta love you some of The Bammer for sure.

[@Humblemumble7]

Fisty. . . . Ann. . . .? Yeah, wicked hard time indeed

[@amoswarren2123]

Lordy, the stone-faced lady dead front center....impenetrable ice maiden in front of an absolutely brilliant comedic performance.

[@kirknelson407]

Maria is one of the best comedy writers I’ve ever seen. And her performance is one of a kind. She inspires me.

[@angelalovell5669]

Maria Bamford is my shiny golden god, I worship her anxious hilarity and absolute mastery of voices and vulnerability.

[@videt7459]

It's amazing that someone with such epically severe stage fright gets up on stage over and over.

[@ursaminorjim]

So not only did I get to cackle maniacally to the point of tears, I _also_ got to _LEARN_ something! You're a treasure, Maria Bamford. Thank you!

[@DanButcher303]

I love Maria's comedy so darn much. Had the opportunity to meet her last year. She was incredibly nice and very generous with her time.

[@washyrose5904]

I met her and Jackie when they came through Portland and goddamnit I cried.

[@DanButcher303]

@@washyrose5904 That's awesome. Im glad you were able to have that experience. She is so so so funny

[@flyfish1995]

I love this woman. Hands down the most underrated talent around today.

[@washyrose5904]

This is part of the set she did when I saw her during her most recent tour. Probably my favorite set she’s ever done. Really hope we get a CD of that set. She just gets better and better.

[@poppybell8217]

Man, she is BRAVE as hell!!! Love it

[@IamThatiAm420]

Maria's personality motivates me to work through depression.

[@XTCMATT]

My favorite comic of all time. Love Maria Bamford!

[@VirtualWoodshed]

So amazing. Maria Bamford and Dimitri Martin. Two of the greatest and most underrated comic geniuses of our time. 🙏🏻

[@isoldewasduhn]

Wow, thanks Maria, I came here to binge YT because of a Saturation Point. Now I feel better.

[@_MSD75_]

I wish I could find a way to show people how much I love them, despite all my words and actions. Love this woman. She's fantastic.

[@mostevokish]

yep

[@thrashpondopons2776]

I think that is my new mantra!

[@SANITIZEDINC]

The unparalleled, brilliant and hilarious comedic stylings of Maria Bamford, American treasure. I adore her. She makes me feel less alone in the world.

[@revk8611]

LOVE THE SONG!!!!!

[@aldon_worldwarden]

Maria is a genius!

[@mariacromero]

“I love you, you love me, let’s just shut up!” 😂🤣

[@MichaelWilliams-mr2kv]

(Not michael)She can talk to her mother for over 10 mins before saturation point. Im impressed. I havent talked to my mother for a year & im still triggered. Love this lady. She puts a smiley face sticker on my mental boo boos.

[@johnh4143]

Best 9 minutes of the day

[@herewegokids7]

That is freaking adorable

[@TheSassback]

Love, love, love, love, love love!

[@technicolorgiallo1111]

10/10!

[@ow5223]

You are awesome Maria!! One of the best.

[@alv134mommy]

My absolute favorite comedian, of all time, I loved her when I was younger, I love her now as a 45-year-old woman even more, I feel like as I get smarter, her comedy gets funnier and funnier

[@darrylcalder]

i said things you said things we said things. I SAID THINGS YOU SAID THINGS WEEE SAAAIIID THIIIIINGS!!

[@vilecorrupt]

[@dangearhead2071]

F*kkin' love it!

[@christinescherrer877]

I could add this more than once.

[@thomasroarty706]

Brilliant!

[@andreciara]

[@mixtape2185]

YESS METAL SCREAM :D

[@rightweaponry908]

defintely guna make "its saturation point" my new warning

[@juancpgo]

1:55 that bit was the best

[@xusemoi]

Yes!

[@Musicmonk84]

Man that cell phone scroller in the front and center seat was an awkward cut 😂

[@stefanmarraccini8646]

Among my people a sighting of Nick Nolte bearing a submarine sandwich is cause for a fortnight of celebration. A good omen indeed. It has been this way since 48 Hours.

[@Inkkink]

I love Maria. Makes me laugh.

[@tofumar]

Is that the guy from The Punch Brothers in the background?

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Man, I do love me some Bammer.

[@lapointdaniel]

The red dragon is giving its best effort. Great ideas.

[@mostevokish]

I love you, you love me, let's just shut up!

[@TeeMan4568]

She us SO effing hilarious!

[@simonrandall5471]

Bam!

[@billhillard]

Yeah Maria does rule.

[@jonhohensee3258]

She said that line about loving people in another "Live From Here" show.

[@piginawar]

8 mins 9 secs: the woman in the front row never reaches saturation point, she feels nothing.

[@squeedum4893]

Tour de Force

[@briane596able]

I feel like she’s breaking the 4th wall of comedy like Seinfeld did in the 90s. (So good).

[@cleopowell5207]

It’s saturation pointtttt 😂

[@arieswaters]

Okay the whole song Part the so-called singing take that out please

[@Twatshot]

I love her songs.

[@GhengisFreud]

the library of congress shoud preserve maria bamford in carbonite for cultural and artistic significance

[@littleghostfilms3012]

The woman in the front row with the red jacket clearly did not get the memo that she was allowed to laugh.

[@nelsonjcloudy]

Rude woman with phone in front row.

[@andrewfager1713]

cynthia drangus

[@zenbear4149]

Saw Maria around this same time. She headlined a long set in a mid sized casino club. It was of course mainly about her mental illness. Unfortunately about halfway through, it went from being funny and meta to just a woman with severe mental illness breaking down completely on stage in front of several hundred people. Really uncomfortable and even disturbing.

[@NailFactoryProds]

I just wish she could be original

[@Anna-bf9rz]

that bish on her phone in the front row smh * gets front row seats just to check her email

[@johnfranciskennedysongwrit2639]

It’s a rare talent to turn poor mental health into a rare talent. (Mine is songwriting 🤣)

[@beatnickblanket]

This woman in the front row in the red coat and white shirt should have been escorted out. Good god.

[@zaclounsbury6340]

hateful woman in red coat

[@oriolesfan61]

Not a good audience

[@emmagiering2509]

If you look at her arm, you can see cutting marks I think. :/

[@cluelesscheese1]

Maria sometimes has a hard time. Its tough being that awesome. Cut her a freaking break. Shes genuinely the shit, so take a big whiff.

[@emmagiering2509]

@@cluelesscheese1 I'm not saying she's not talented. I love her work. I'm saying that it looks like she's in pain and is expressing it on her body in an industry that demands Maria perform differently than she perhaps feels.

[@michaeldevine7556]

Sounds like your average woman to me

[@Phalanx11]

If you look closely her hands are always shaking.

[@TheFacefinder]

Love you. Don't like your defamation of our president.

[@BobPagani]

Were you troubled when Trump ridiculed a disabled reporter during his campaigning? Or when he said that Ted Cruz's wife was ugly and his father helped kill John Kennedy? Trump is a monster. He deserved to be defamed.

[@devisissy1]

@@BobPagani 😂 😂 😂 😂 shut up clown.

[@misanthropic985]

She’s my hero One of the funniest people alive

[@newearth2920]

Maria Bamford is one of the best things to ever happen in the realm of people. She personifies every good thing humanity has to offer.

[@rusty0303]

She's definitely funny. Idk about all that other stuff. All of her characters are always victimizing her. That could be a sign of some deep self-centeredness.

[@Sunny-qd4jq]

New Earth How do you really feel about her?

[@amandaelizabeth7943]

Hell yes she does

[@jamesbns7261]

Yes. More always.

[@briane596able]

Definitely Minnesota

[@KeelyBurnMusic]

"Saturation Point" needs to be a full song, with instrumental accompaniment and everything. I've been singing it to myself ever since I saw this. Great advice and funny to boot!

[@5RRRtarRiver]

The group IGORRR really needs a shot at this

[@chasbodaniels1744]

.... or maybe have Garfunkel and Oates take a stab at scoring it.

[@alv134mommy]

Yes, I need to have this song so I can play it in my head every time I reach this point

[@A_A_K_123]

Maria is a unique, magical gift to humanity. Do we deserve her? My red dragon is staring at me, smiling ambiguously, nodding his head, flapping his wings, and puffing little fireballs of hope.

[@amystery7754]

This girl has my heart, always will. You gotta listen with a musician's ear. She's got the chops. She's got the cred. She's a reliable reporter from American life.

[@booklist123123]

If I remember right she can play the violin very well.

[@modelleg]

She's probably the most well-adjusted person in the crowd.

[@purpura7053]

gosh the woman in red jacket in front row looks so unamused ._. Maria youre awesome

[@slamcrank]

YES.... that woman actually made me angry. She was on her freaking phone when they first showed her. Then every other time she was just completely unamused and unappreciative. I had to sing Saturation Point in order not to scream at her through the screen.

[@nicksurfs1]

I thought I was gonna watch some comedy because I'm depressed AF but unexpectedly learned coping skills. Saturation point.

[@robzen2713]

The coloring book joke gave me joy.

[@philgood8089]

* composes email requesting Maria to be MY red dragon * ... OH, LOOOK! SHE'S HERE!!!

[@23coffee60]

I love all the positive comments about Maria.

[@maryrosekent8223]

Maria Bamford channels the universe and it’s fascinating and funny.

[@ChubbyUnicorn]

Maria is Genius, Truth, courage personified.

[@seanseanseanseansean]

What a trip she is. I've listened to each of her routines, twice. I admire that fearless delivery of strange.

[@JimKulakowski]

Love Maria. I laughed uncontrollably during the scream-o part. The genius is that this is actually how a musician would really write a bridge - present the melody then embellish. Brilliant.

[@ChrisDragotta]

She plays violin.

[@bimscutney1242]

Listening to Maria Bamford is like listening to jazz. In a good way. She is my spirit animal.

[@mrwest5552]

i thought i was brave, she is truly brave

[@davissae]

Holy Christ this is original, creative, and relateable

[@All-Hail-Gayle]

Her voice is so magical. Her stories are relatable, but she reminds me of the fairy from Scrooge.

[@hipporage18]

I love Maria despite all my words and actions.

Nuts, I already liked this video. :D I've been following her since Comedy Central Presents!
