Let’s sip the world, one glass at a time!

Presented by The Bankhead Theater
Maria Bamford at the Bankhead!
If you’re into smart, honest, totally off-the-wall comedy—you need to see Maria Bamford. She brings a one-of-a-kind brilliance to the stage, blending razor-sharp wit with unfiltered, hilarious takes on life’s weirdness (and realness).
Maria isn’t afraid to dive into mental health, relationships, or those awkward everyday moments—and somehow she makes it all laugh-out-loud funny and deeply relatable. Her comedy is wild, heartfelt, and 100% her own.
Catch her live at the Bankhead—this is one you don’t want to miss.
Big thanks to our friends at Fremont Bank for helping make this night happen!
