Bamford Talks Mental Illness, Stand-Up
11 May 2012 4:57 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Slate.com: Over the last several years Maria Bamford has become one of the most acclaimed and original stand-up comics in the country. Along with Patton Oswalt, Zach Galifianakis, and Brian Posehn, Bamford was part of the Comedians of Comedy tour; she's also released three solo albums and done two Comedy Central specials. Bamford's voice (or rather, voices) can be heard regularly on Nickelodeon, Adult Swim, PBS, and elsewhere.
But her signature work may be The Maria Bamford Show, a brilliant web series from 2009 that was screened last year at the Museum of Art + Design in New York »

Watch: Highlights From Hot New Comedy Festival
30 April 2012 10:32 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Was the Moontower Comedy and Oddity Festival, whose inaugural run took place last weekend in Austin, Texas, "important for comedy"? Who knows. Probably. What is clear, though, is that the four-day festival took advantage of the ubiquity stand-up comedy is currently enjoying and ran with it, producing a full-fledged, comedy fan-friendly destination where both established stars and up-and-coming comedians took the stage to inspire laughter. Taking advantage of the Diy media that comedians have fully embraced, Moontower turned podcast listeners and Twitter followers into delirious audience members for one April weekend.
As Dan Solomon of Austin CultureMap rightly pointed out, the festival's bookers succeeded not just in terms of a comedy festival, but for any kind of arts festival. The headliners it attracted -- Seth Meyers, Aziz Ansari, Jeff Ross -- hold cache in the world of comedy that most music fests are lucky to ever get, especially in their first year of existence. »

5 Reasons To Watch FX’s New Animated Series ‘Unsupervised’
2 February 2012 6:54 PM, PST | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
Many animated shows struggle to find their stride and their true identity in their first season. Family Guy was not an instant hit. Neither were The Simpsons. But in all successful series you can always see through the rough spots and see a good show coming through.
FX’s Unsupervised is having that kind of start in its first season. Gary (Justin Long) and Joel (David Hornsby) are best friends but don’t have any idea or direction in life due to their lack of supervision. There’s a lot of potential, some well-written jokes a fun voice cast, and some great visual gags, but after tonight’s nod to baseball, “Field of Dreams… and Dogs” there still remains a little unevenness. Hang in there though because there are at least five reasons to stick with first season to see if they can tighten up the show.
