I ♥ DULUTH, The Story of the Maria Bamford Show

About a year after her participation in the groundbreaking Comedy Central documentary series the Comedians of Comedy, Maria Bamford was on stage at the Friars Club in LA when a heckler began shouting at her. What happened after that isn’t entirely clear, other than Bamford had a breakdown, walked off stage, and disappeared. She was found three months later selling clock radios on the sidewalks of Detroit. A fellow homeless person, who was also a Comedy Central fan, recognized Bamford and eventually her parents were contacted. They brought her back home to Deluth, Minnesota and began to get her help. Maria decided to document her recovery in a series of short videos called The Maria Bamford Show, which were first posted to the TBS networks' now abandoned Super Deluxe Web site. • The Maria Bamford Show: 01 Dropout • The Maria Bamford Show: 02 Maria Gets A Job • The Maria Bamford Show: 03 Kicked Out • The Maria Bamford Show: 04 Search for Meaning • The Maria Bamford Show: 05 Ready for Love • The Maria Bamford Show: 06 Mother's Day • The Maria Bamford Show: 07 Showtime • The Maria Bamford Show: 08 Crevasse • The Maria Bamford Show: 09 Bread • The Maria Bamford Show: 10 Dark • The Maria Bamford Show: 11 Will • The Maria Bamford Show: 12 Faith • The Maria Bamford Show: 13 Oh - CD • The Maria Bamford Show: 14 Death and Happiness • The Maria Bamford Show: 15 Boredom • The Maria Bamford Show: 16 Acting Out • The Maria Bamford Show: 17 Horror • The Maria Bamford Show: 18 Moving • The Maria Bamford Show: 19 Replacement • The Maria Bamford Show: 20 Exit Her latest effort solo effort is Maria Bamford: The Special Special Special which she recorded in her living room, for an audience of two—her parents. The Onion’s AV Club called it, “[O]ne of the most fearless and bracingly dark explorations of mental illness in recent memory. But since the special is the product of Bamford’s beautifully tormented mind, it has the benefit of being consistently hilarious.” Slate: Stand-up Comedy and Mental Illness: A Conversation with Maria Bamford.

So you remember that 'dumb, totally fake' video of a bird pooping in a reporter's mouth that was posted and deleted a week ago? It's meta-fake. Maybe even pata-fake.
