Comedian takes on mental illness

It’s a Laughing Matter –

January 17, 2020 – It’s just comedians are much more likely to talk about it.” Bamford says she would love to talk to people who don’t have the financial/cultural resources to handle illness. “How are they handling it? Because with … not only my income level and my union representation, but I have the best of all possible worlds with getting care. And so I think it would be wonderful to talk to people [about] how they are coping, just people who aren’t in entertainment. But it’s also interesting to talk to people in entertainment,” she says.  Bamford brings celebrities on her show, including “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” actress Rachel Bloom. In that episode, they discuss health insurance, and the level of resources it takes to get good care.
