Maria Bamford

Known for telling jokes about her dysfunctional family and making fun of her battles with depression and anxiety, comedian Maria Bamford is the thinking woman's comic. She even successfully turned her life story into Lady Dynamite, a terrific Netflix original series. Last year, the brainy comic gave the commencement speaker for the University of Minnesota's College of Liberal Arts. She makes a rare appearance in town tonight for a standup show that takes place at 8 at Hilarities. Tickets start at $25. (Jeff Niesel)
