Maria Bamford
Maria started her performing arts career in Duluth, Minnesota at the age of 11 where she starred in the Chester Park Elementary production of "How the West Was REALLY Won!" (Conservative message that didn't include the perspective of indigenous nations). A short 24 years of self-discovery and secretarial work later, look at her now! She is certainly on some kind of predestined journey!

She starred in a pilot pitch by Jonathan Katz and Tom Snyder for animated development that was tentatively titled "The Trial". That's right! Maria's talent is not limited to comedy!
She also performs comedic voiceovers!
She is a series regular on the animated Nickelodeon series CatDog and has been a guest star on Oxygen series Hey Monie!, the Cartoon Network's Home Movies and played a spider in Charlotte's Web II (a straight-to-video deal).
And recently, Maria landed roles as Mrs. Beady- the Neurotic Farm Wife in the movie and TV versions of BARNYARD, creations of Steve Odekerk and Nickelodeon Animation. Some of her other credits include, STUART LITTLE 2 (small part), LUCKY NUMBERS with John Travolta (pretty big part), Dharma and Greg (very small part) and The Trouble with Normal (medium-sized part). Yeah, pretty awesome, huh?
