Reviews
"If Maria Bamford had a cult, I'd join it." --Rachel Bloom, author of I Want to be Where the Normal People Are, "There's an authenticity to her words that elevates them into something beyond the category of comedy memoir... Bamford has created a work destined to shine much-needed light on mental illness. Illuminating those serious moments with humor is her true triumph." -- Washington Post, "If Maria Bamford had a cult, I'd join it." --Rachel Bloom, author of I Want to be Where the Normal People Are "Maria is the kind of comedian you watch and think, 'I've gotta write more and I've gotta think deeper.' I'm glad she's in the world." --Patton Oswalt, New York Times bestselling author of Zombie Spaceship Wasteland and Silver Screen Fiend "Maria Bamford is deeply funny. her understanding of the world and her place in it is so specific to her brain and the many beautiful, bizarre voices that live inside it. Read this book to better understand one of our most special minds." --Nick Kroll "A brutal and honest look at battling mental health. Is it funny?...Of course...It's Maria, but it's also gut wrenching. Take Maria's hand and walk with her through good times, bad times, and coocoo for coco puffs times." --Oscar Nuñez "Maria Bamford is my absolute favorite comedian. Read this book NOW!" --Tig Notaro, author of I'm Just a Person

Synopsis
From "weird, scary, ingenious" ( The New York Times ) stand-up comedian Maria Bamford, an instant New York Times bestselling, brutally honest, and "laugh-out-loud funny" (Jennette McCurdy, #1 New York Times bestselling author) memoir about show business, mental health, and the comfort of rigid belief systems--from Dale Carnegie's Ho w to Win Friends and Influence People, to Richard Simmons, to 12-step programs. Maria Bamford is a comedian's comedian (an outsider among outsiders) and has forever fought to find a place to belong. From struggling with an eating disorder as a child of the 1980s, to navigating a career in the arts (and medical debt and psychiatric institutionalization), she has tried just about every method possible to not only be a part of the world, but to want to be a part of it. In Bamford's "trademark blend of disarming intimacy and dark whimsy" ( Publishers Weekly ), Sure, I'll Join Your Cult brings us on a quest to participate in something . With sincerity and transparency, she recounts every anonymous fellowship she has joined (including but not limited to: Debtors Anonymous, Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, and Overeaters Anonymous), every hypomanic episode (from worrying about selling out under capitalism to enforcing union rules on her Netflix TV show set to protect her health), and every easy 1-to-3-step recipe for fudge in between. Packed with "Bamford's brilliance, relentless humor, and insatiable instinct for survival ( Library Journal ), this memoir explores what it means to keep going, and to be a member of society (or any group she's invited to) despite not being very good at it. In turn, she hopes to transform isolating experiences into comedy that will make you feel less alone (without turning into a cult following)., From "weird, scary, ingenious" ( The New York Times ) stand-up comedian Maria Bamford, a brutally honest and hilariously frenetic memoir about showbusiness, mental health, and the comfort of rigid belief systems -- from Dale Carnegie's Ho w to Win Friends and Influence People, to Suzuki violin training, to Richard Simmons, to 12-step programs.
