Comedian Maria Bamford says she is endlessly baffled by the adulation she receives from her stand-up comedy peers.
Marc Maron called her one of the greatest comics of her generation. Stephen Colbert said she was his favorite comedian. And Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos said her show, Lady Dynamite, is the best original series the streamer has ever released.
“That just clearly isn’t true,” a humbled Bamford, 55, told Obsessed: The Podcast host Matt Wilstein. “There’s no best, there’s no worst. There’s just a bunch of people out there doing a craft and doing it beautifully in all sorts of ways.”
