Maria Bamford has been called one of "The 50 Funniest People Now" by Rolling Stone. Stephen Colbert says she is his favorite comedian. And her Netflix series "Lady Dynamite," based on her personal experiences with mental health, gets praise from viewers and critics alike. 

Bamford joins us in studio to talk about comedy and life before she performs Friday night at the Tabernacle in Atlanta. She also has a new album called "20%," released by Comedy Central Records.

Maria Bamford says the success of her Netflix series Lady Dynamite "is like winning the lottery" -- but that it also came after decades of hard work.
