We Just Think It, But Maria Bamford Says It

How awesome would it be if they hired Maria to run the Sex And The City tour?

"The Carlos Mencia of funny comedians" is the most complicated back-handed compliment (bompliment) I've heard in a long time.

"She's the good kind of AIDS."

I wish Maria Bamford was my friend. She's like the John Legend to my Wendy Williams. But without the craziness. Because I'm not crazy. Oooooooh no.

I was briefly in LA recently and saw Maria Bamford standing outside UCB theatre. I wanted to ask if I could sniff her hair but got shy. Still. Maria. I want to sniff you hair.
