Mae Martin: Comedy Versus Music, Gender Fluidity, New Album ‘I’m A TV’ (Full Episode)

Triple threat doesn’t quite cover it: Toronto-born Mae Martin is an award-winning comedian, screenwriter, podcaster, actor, author, and now a songwriter releasing their debut album ‘I’m A TV,’ a collection of intimate, mellow indie-folk, filled with deft one-liners and vulnerable confessionals. Most recently they’ve even started sharing their surrealist paintings, which is also something we also discussed when they joined us in the studio for the first time. Martin initially came to prominence for their semi-autobiographical, 2015 Netflix dramedy ‘Feel Good,’ which follows a stand-up comedian navigating love, addiction, and self-discovery in a deeply personal and darkly humorous way. Since then they’ve moved from London to LA, published a YA book, ‘Can Everyone Please Calm Down? A Guide to 21st Century Sexuality,’ co-hosted podcast Handsome, alongside fellow comedians Tig Notaro and Fortune Feimster, released a comedy special, hosted a doc series and is currently in the midst of editing their upcoming Netflix teen thriller series ‘Wayward.’ We chat with Martin about being ostensibly raised in the comedy circuit, crafting their debut album, rehab, psychedelics, dreams about eminem, psychics, DMing Steven Jenkins from Third Eye Blind, the ties between comedy and music, not to mention being non-binary in this Trump-ian dystopia.
