Mae Martin Facts
- They have recalled that their parents had taken them to their first comedy show when they were 11 years old, following which they had become addicted to stand-up comedy. Mae and two friends became known as “the Groupies” for having gone to see the play Family Circus Maximus 160 times in a year.
- Mae’s parents were ex-hippies and fans of comedy and the family home used to be filled with recordings of British classics like Monty Python as well as Americans such as Steve Martin.
- Mae has recounted that they got their first taste of stage life at the age of 11 when they were invited on stage in order to be the dummy of a ventriloquist.
- They have been performing comedy since they were 13 years old.
- At the age of 16, they made their Canadian TV debut on The Comedy Network’s Cream of Comedy and became the youngest ever nominee for the prestigious Tim Sims Encouragement Fund Award.
- Martin has been based in the UK, ever since moving there in 2011.
- They have stated that they had just wanted to tell a human story and a love story in Feel Good and that it has been queer with the theme of addiction as those have comprised their life. Martin has been very open about their life growing up while they struggled with discovering their gender identity, along with drug addiction. They have noticed that the more specific the storyline and characters are, the more people can relate, and they wanted the central characters, Mae and George, to be highly flawed and three-dimensional.
