How to Win! is Maria Bamford's second comedy album, following The Burning Bridges Tour. It was recorded at Cap City Comedy Club in Austin, Texas, on November 15–19, 2005.[2]
Critical reception
[edit]Stewart Mason of AllMusic found the album an improvement over her debut record, noting that Bamford seemed to be relying less on a cartoony persona and called her material both "amusingly dark" and "less insular" than previously, "focusing on more social and political topics."[2]
