Maria Bamford had a legendary performance on Netflix’s Lady Dynamite, one of Variety and Rolling Stone’s must-see shows.

In addition to this, she’s been part of several animated series as well as her recurring role on Netflix’s Arrested Development.

Candice Guardino’s Italian Bred on January 26
Candice Guardino’s Italian Bred tells the story of a little girl who grows up very Italian. She cooks up a meal of laughter by slipping in and out of multiple family characters to tell her story about being Italian on Staten Island. She’s performed on Broadway, written screenplays, dramas, sketch comedies, and sitcoms. She’s also mastered performing weekly living room recitals as a young girl and we think that says a lot.
Victoria Theater
Cost: $32.50 – $50
