It's the Sound of Young America, I'm Jesse Thorn.

You know, there are a few stand-up comics in the world whose talent I find borderline transcendent.

One of them is Maria Bamford.

You might have seen her in her repeat performance as the crazy holiday lady recently in a series of target commercials,

but she is absolutely without fear on the stand-up stage.

Here she is recorded live for the Sound of Young America,

at the Sound of Young America Presents,

last night at Art Share in Los Angeles.

All right, so I was,

is anybody ever met anyone on the internet,

or met them, you know,

connected, then chosen to meet in a public place on the net?

It's fun. It's fun.

It takes courage.

I've done it many times.

I've been in several one-year relationships, no, let's say three.

I started dating when I was 35, because I had a lot of anxiety.

I'm 35.

I'm open. I'm open.

I'm available.

Anyways, as I said,

now that's my last dub, but I'm buccah, buccah, buccah.
