Maria Bamford is a creative genius. But the process of creating is not something that “comes easily” or “is enjoyable” for her. So, over the years, she’s invented a number of helpful techniques for tricking, shaming, coercing herself into doing things. You Are (A Comedy) Special is 15-step comedic send up of a self help guide that examines Maria’s approach to stand-up in a hilarious fashion.

Exactly what I wanted/need...

I am not a stand-up comedian, nor an aspiring one. I am a fan of Maria Bamford...and a singer-songwriter. I often feel that comedy podcasts, etc. are directly related to any performer who tries to put a show together (a show of any kind). I decided to take a pause from my Malcolm X audible (true story) to lighten up for a drive...that book is AMAZING...and I needed to laugh (Malcolm X autobiography is short on laughs). This book delivered in every way...to the point where, somehow, with 15 minutes left or so on my first lesson, when audible for some reason started over, I just went with it...and listened to the whole thing a second time less than 24 hours later. Maria...don't change a thing.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
