American comedian Maria Bamford is coming to the UK for two shows in 2018.
The star of the Netflix comedies Lady Dynamite and Old Baby will be playing two London shows on March 22 & 23 at Leicester Square Theatre.
Best known for her portrayal of her dysfunctional family and self-deprecating comedy involving jokes about depression and anxiety, audiences are bound to be taken on one hell of a ride with Maria.
Maria Bamford can currently be seen in the semi-autobiographical Netflix comedy series Lady Dynamite (created by Mitch Hurwitz (Arrested Development) and Pam Brady (South Park)), which has been lauded as “revelatory” by Entertainment Weeklyand one of 2016’s must-see shows by Variety and Rolling Stone. Maria is also the creator and star of Maria Bamford: The Special Special Special. She was the first female comic to have two half-hour Comedy Central Presents specials and starred alongside Patton Oswalt, Zach Galifianakis and Brian Posehn in the Comedy Central series, The Comedians of Comedy and Netflix’s Comedians of Comedy: The Movie. Previously she has also had a recurring role in Netflix’s Arrested Development reboot, USA’s Benched, FX’s Louie, and currently recurs on the ABC hit Fresh Off the Boat.
People Magazine said of her:"[Bamford] all but steals this new season…At the very least, from now on Arrested Development must include Maria Bamford.”
If you have not seen her before, then you have definitely heard her before. She voices characters on numerous animated series including BoJack Horseman, Adventure Time, Legend of Korra, Puss in Boots and PBS’s Emmy-winning series Word Girl. She can also be heard voicing lead roles on Fox’s Golan the Insatiableand Yahoo’s Talking Tom & Friends.
Maria Bamford will be supported by excellent Australian comedian Felicity Ward.
