Free Music Notes for The Burning Bridges Tour
Free Music Review: Hilarious. Finally, a female comedian who is NOT a hack!
Hit: 5 Stars
I host a weekly comedy/novelty radio show, and I've gotten nothing but praise for playing tracks from this CD. It's easily one of the best stand-up CDs I've heard in recent years, male or female. And trust me, I'm picky when it comes to stand-up.
I have very low tolerance for "hack" comedy, and by that I mean the comedy topics that we've all heard a million other comedians do: riding on airplanes, sounds from the McDonald's drive-thru speaker, Clinton/Lewinsky jokes, dogs vs. cats, etc. More specifically, there are the routines that we've heard virtually every stale female stand-up do before: guys-are-dumb, periods-are-funny, male bashing, stupid pet stories, male bashing, and did I mention male bashing? Bamford however steers clear of all that mess.
OK, granted she does have routines like the crazy mother stories and commentary on the dating scene. But even then, she has her own surreal twist to the topics that's truly witty. She's one of the few I know of that never tries to split the audience into men vs. women to get cheap, self-righteous applause. Bamford simply delivers great comedy. And not to sound like a prude, but she doesn't need "dick jokes" (the comedy term for shock/sex jokes) to hold the audience either. And as others have mentioned, she works an incredibly diverse amount of voices into her act, which really push the delivery. The "Christian Teen" voice still cracks me up to no end.
If you're looking for some new comedy that's original and witty, definitely give this one a listen, especially if you like a lot of the other acts on the "Stand-Up! Records" label.
The Burning Bridges Tour Poster
Maria Bamford speaks in many voices. No, She is not an impressionist, unless you count the stellar impression of her mom. Maria feels her high-pitched voice does not command respect, as a result, she has taken on many voices to help her in her wickedly funny jokes. Decidedly off-beat, Maria has a wide-eyed innocence that comes shining through on this, her debut on CD.Alternative Rock Music CDs
