I was in the back row of the
Southwest Airlines flight middle seat.
I just trembled, spilled my Diet Coke
all over myself. My 2 new friends.
I was riding in a coffee
stained liquor store notebook
and I looked down and I realized
I was wearing an outfit that
I had purchased entirely
at a San Antonio, TX CVS.
Hook em horns T Aztec print Poly
legging open toe rubber shoe. I'd
like to think that's a one off.
That that's not gonna happen again.
But that is not an anomaly.
I enjoy a last minute fashion
binge at a regional drugstore. Oh,
and I cannot wait to see what she is
wearing when she takes the stage at
the American comedy company next week,
comedian Maria Bamford.
Thank you so much for joining us on the 4th.
She's in zoom. Where is she?
There she is. Hello,
thank you so much for having me.
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you so much for being here.
So I gotta start, we're gonna dive right in.
How does it feel to be back on tour?
We had a long boss.
Oh, it's it's delightful.
I mean, I enjoyed zoom and the the zoom
bombing was delightful to deal with.
But yeah, I know I.
I prefer to be heckled in person so
I can see them face to face and.
I yeah, I just love having a live
crowds again. It's really wonderful.
OK now Speaking of zoom,
I hear that you used to
like work out some material
on zoom and use Twitter.
What was going on here?
'cause this sounds really fun.
It sounds like I should
have been on Twitter. Oh
yes. Well I mean there is a I
like to yeah I like to rehearse.
I'm more of a theatrical act.
I do a lot of characters. I do.
My mother and I do certain types of people.
And so I like to rehearse it.
So I would I'll go on Twitter and say,
hey, is anybody in this zip code near
this and contact me and then I'll pick
the first person and then I'll meet
a perfect stranger and do my ACT to
them for about 45 minutes and it'll
usually be at a Dunkin' Donuts or
such a purveyor of coffee like that.
And it's it's perfect.
It's perfect for me.
'cause I get to go through my jokes
and I don't have to stay up late at
night to go up at the Laugh factory.
Wow, that is interesting.
I've never heard of
something like that before.
OK, so check this out.
What positive did you learn
after you know perfecting zoom,
obviously, but what were some
of the positive things that
came out of the pandemic and
isolation for you? Well,
I the zoo shows were lovely.
You got an international crowd,
so people who you normally
wouldn't be able to perform for,
you know in non English speaking countries
you know there was people from all over.
There's also the largest crowd I have
ever had to come see me around 3000
people because it was on line and so
that was wonderful and the the the
hard part was just the disconnection
of of not being able to see people.
My balls in front of you and
then staring into the pinpoint.
As we all know how to do now so.
But yeah, there were some benefits.
Also, the idea that you just roll
over and start and go to work.
You know that I I enjoyed that one too.
OK, so yeah, so is it called Lady Dynamite?
You said those were long days talk to
me a little bit about Lady Dynamite.
We're running a little bit out of town
but I wanna get it in real quick.
It's a show. It's autobiographical.
I have bipolar.
It's a mental health condition.
And so it's about an autobiography.
Goal show.
Two seasons about that experience and.
And yeah I am pro mental health care.
Get it wherever you can call
I sometimes the suicide
hotline is is busy so call.
