Maria Bamford after the show.<\/p><\/div>\n

July 12 was another great evening of comedy in Austin with Maria Bamford headlining! You may recognize\u00a0her<\/span><\/strong><\/a> from cameos in goofy shows or stand-up appearances over the years but more often for her voice work in the cartoons\u00a0Catdog, Home Movies, Word Girl<\/em> and most recently\u00a0Barnyard<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Before she came on, there were a half dozen opening performers who were the finalists of Austin’s recent stand-up contest. They were all solid because they made me laugh which is something I barely do at movies or TV. My friend Scott and I hope to come back for an open mic night to see some of them again as an act of support.<\/p>\n

Maria was on a roll from the start. Her material is great to listen to but you have to see her in person due to the physical elements in her act; she contorts, makes faces and gestures to illustrate her jokes\u2014there’s this gut-busting geography routine done with her hands.<\/p>\n

After the show, she was a treat to talk to. We had to keep it brief since there were many people who also wanted some face time with Maria. She smiled when I mentioned how much I loved her Shriek Dubois villain on\u00a0Catdog<\/em> and gave her a compliment on the animals she imitates. I told her I felt she could be the next Frank Welker (the<\/em> voice actor for animals). Finally, the answer to your burning question if you’ve seen her; when she does speak off stage, her actual voice is similar to what you hear on stage just with a normal amount of confidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
