The show was great but it happened to fall on the same night as the "Parade of Lights" downtown and the first night of "Wild Lights at the Zoo." Traffic there and back was thick. Whew. The city was beautiful, though.
Maria is a little....off the beaten path, so to say. I think she's hysterical but she's not for everyone. I'm not so sure my companion really got her. Oh well.

(16,386 posts)She is mentally ill and incorporates her illness into her material. She does it in a way that is funny but not exploitative, IMO. I'm sure it's a fine line. I really believe she has a genius, if fragile, mind.
To add on edit: Last night some of her material was quite political which is unlike her. The crowd ate it up. The last thing she said was, "Let's bring down Trump!"
