[ NOTES ]

I've been a fan of Maria Bamford since I heard her as the voice of Shriek in the Nickelodeon animated series CatDog (1998). In this show, her voice was very loud and shrill, but in the specials on this disc, you'll hear her rather soft-spoken natural voice. Maria's style is a very dry wit, but I find her funny, and I think you will, too. The Maria Bamford: Stand-Up Spotlight DVD is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
