My Friend Irma is a radio sitcom that revolves around the life of a dim-witted blonde stenographer named Irma Peterson, played by Marie Wilson. The show focuses on the daily antics and problems that arise with Irma's friends, especially her logical and dependable roommate, Jane Stacy, played by Cathy Lewis. The comedic tone and style of the show rely heavily on the witty and sometimes absurd interactions between these characters, as well as Irma's humorous misunderstandings and misadventures.
