Fans will recognize Bamford’s voice from such popular series as Big Mouth, Adventure Time, and Hey Arnold!, and from her starring role in the Netflix comedy series Lady Dynamite.

Bamford is as popular with her fellow comics as she is with her fans. Stephen Colbert called Bamford his “favourite comedian on Earth” and Judd Apatow said that she is “the funniest woman in the world.”
