Comedian Maria Bamford's new Netflix single-camera sitcom, "Lady Dynamite," premiered last Friday. And it's... odd. It's surreal. It's sad. It's a comedy that's very much about mental illness and loneliness and anxiety. And it's a comedy that's very much about itself too.
And then, other possible topics include:
- Why is Hillary so unpopular?
- Your brain is not a computer.
- "For the first time in modern history, more 18-to–34-year-olds live with their parents than in any other living arrangement."
- The (new?) best thing to call a thing to praise the thing is "everything."
GUESTS:
- Taneisha Duggan - Producing associate at TheaterWorks
- Rich Hollant - Principal and design director at co:lab
- Carolyn Paine - An actress, comedian, and dancer; and founder, director, and choreographer of CONNetic Dance
