Mae Martin: From ‘Feel Good’ to ‘SAP’

<p>At just 35 years old, Mae Martin has been performing stand-up for more than two decades—from their teenage years at open mic nights in the Toronto comedy scene to hit one-person shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to their first-ever hour long special ‘SAP,’ which was directed by <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/abbi-jacobson-celebrates-4-20/id1456474041?i=1000517846590" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Abbi Jacobson</a> and premieres on Netflix today. In this episode, Martin talks about everything it took to get to this huge moment in their career, including what they learned about themselves making the autobiographical Netflix series ‘Feel Good,’ the difficult decision to come out as gender nonbinary both on the show and in real life and what they make of the rise of anti-trans comedy from some of America’s most popular comedians.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Follow Mae Martin on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/TheMaeMartin" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@TheMaeMartin</a> and Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hooraymae" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@hooraymae</a></p><p>Follow Matt Wilstein on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/mattwilstein" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mattwilstein</a></p><p>Follow The Last Laugh on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lastlaughpod/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@lastlaughpod</a></p><br><p>Highlights from this episode and others at <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/keyword/the-last-laugh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Daily Beast</a></p><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
