Maria was great!
The two opening comics were good and connected well with the crowd, and left while they were ahead.
Maria was dynamic, disguised the fact that she was feeling the effects of the flu, and kept a great energy with the audience. Her material, though I had heard it a few times times due to seeing her Special Special Special and hearing her Nerdist interview, was like watching a favorite band, I was anticipating the bits I loved best and having just as much fun.
She's most definitely one of my favorite comics, and I am so happy I made the trip to see her.

They were both equally hilarious and riveting. Brandi Carlile is, as always, stunning and brilliant both musically and comedy wise. This was my first time seeing Maria Bamford, and her impersonation of her mother is the funniest thing I've ever heard. I want to go see Wits infinity more times before I die!!!

When initally purchasing these tickets the 'Ticketmaster' website made it look like it was a Brandi Carlile concert. Only later I found out it was a 'variety show' of some kind. Brandi only sang 3 songs, which are always excellent, and the remaining time was spent listening to random people 'try' to be funny. Maria held her own, but Brandi was the only true talent on stage that night.
Not Impressed!

I went for Maria Bamford, but was pleasantly surprised by Brandi. She's got chops, and the audience loved her! The Fitz is a beautiful old theater, and apart from some posts where TV's are hung there's hardly a bad seat In the house (even in the balconies!) The Lobby is faaar too small for any theater. I didn't use the bathroom, but I can only imagine. But, there are two different counters where drinks are served. The lady that I went to was very friendly. Anyway, Maria was hilarious, and I love her platinum blonde hair! I also loved how (a few times) after she would say something, there was a sputtering of initial laughter and then it would just continue to get louder after a few more seconds. Gotta let it settle in. Looking forward to the Spring Wits!

So much talent. Maria Bamford and Brandi Carlile are both at the top of their game. The host was spot on and equally as entertaining.

One of the best nights I've had in a long time. I'd been waiting two years to see Maria Bamford, and my god, that lady is a genius. Must also give two very enthusiastic thumbs up to Robert Mac and Nato Green.

My first live Maria B performance, but I'd enjoyed her audiobook and cable shows. I was able to follow 97.3 % of her lines, but Neo-Bamford's like my wife struggled a bit picking up some of Maria's grumbling asides.
I loved the show, including the opener and featured performers. The only missing bit [for me] was Maria encountering her high school friend at Target. I can't look at "Press debit or credit" when I'm checking out somewhere without hearing her voice.
The venue was terrific [my first visit] for standup, and the servers were friendly and always there when needed. Altogether a great night.

So I know Nato. We're not mates, just crossed paths at a work-related political function. That's why I went: curious to see what he was doing in hs new gig and I have no bias at all. But...

His was the funniest set. Not sure how broad an audience he'll reach as it was very pithy, very San Fran, stereotypical lefty-jewish humour. But FUNNY. And isn't that a large part of the purpose of a comedy show? To be funny?

The second comedian (I'm ignoring the two-song silliness that crept in after Nato) was also the second funniest. Very, very droll and, frankly, over the heads of quite a few audience members. He has some work to do but I can see Mr. Mac rising to the level of a John Stewart, he's that sharp.

As for the headliner? Frankly I'd never heard of her so checked her on YouTube. There she has a few decent skits; Tuesday night she was unfocussed, often rambled and rarely got a laugh from anyone other than a couple of loyal fans.

I wouldn't go to see just her again; if Nato and Robert build on their sets so it's not too repetitive, I'd check them out again. Hopefully when the set order is right and they're headlining.

One of the best comics on tour these days! Have seen many stand-up comics and Maria's view on life's foibles and relationships are insighful, moving, and above all, truly hilarious. She has it dialed-in with voices, acting, and split second timing. Nato Green and Robert "Backpack" Mac were great pluses to the evening. That the SF Punchline is a terrific space for stand-up audiences was one more reason to have attended. Thank you Maria– and all, just awesomely effective!!!

Have loved her on Comedy Central. Got to catch an intimate show in a small venue recently and she had my friend and I laughing so hard we had tears running down our faces. Bamford is a quirky, off kilter performer who bares her slightly-less-than-sane soul to her audience, holding nothing back. Comedians willing to reveal warts and all are always the funniest...they are like a high wire act operating without a net. I was surprised she had so much fresh material as I don't think this show was part of a new tour. If you get a chance to see this lady, grab it! (Her show is clean, but perhaps too sophisticated for kids.)
