Maria Bamford’s standup special includes a scene where she gives her pug eye medicine. I strongly recommend it, as well as this excellent interview on Bullseye with Jesse Thorn.

Bamford talks to us about why she chose to perform a special in front of her parents, processing awful experiences or feelings into jokes, and why she describes herself as “the orchid of comedy”.
