Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)When I first listened to this debut CD, what immediately grabbed my attention was the dynamic array of voices she easily switches into -- they almost take on a life of their own, and you can vividly picture the characters in front of you as you burst out in laughter.
The execution of her jokes is near perfection, and she doesn't miss a beat in her delivery.
On a number of the tracks, her humor takes on an almost confessional quality, and one has to admire her willingness to be open in front of audiences which may or may not be just as willing to listen. On other tracks, she tackles conventional topics in unconventional ways, yet does ~NOT~ insult the intelligence of her audience.
This is simple (and equally insightful) comedy that crosses many different boundaries. I played the CD earlier in the evening to my 6-year-old nephew, and he loved it. Even a friend of mine who moved to DC from Germany and doesn't "get" a lot of American culture/humor thinks she is hilarious!
I've never recommended a stand-up CD in my life, but I highly recommend "Burning Bridges."
It's amazing to me this artist isn't more popular than she currently is, and it's only a matter of time before the entertainment industry catches on to what many who are hungering for something new and better in comedy have already known for a long time -- a talented phenomena where jagged brutal honesty clothed behind a warmly kind demeanor does exist, and exists without compromise. Thank you Maria Bamford for providing an original voice that's been missing in contemporary entertainment.

Maria Bamford speaks in many voices.No, She is not an impressionist, unless you count the stellar impression of her mom.Maria feels her high-pitched voice does not command respect, as a result, she has taken on many voices to help her in her wickedly funny jokes.Decidedly off-beat, Maria has a wide-eyed innocence that comes shining through on this, her debut on CD.
