Partner of Mae Martin, Canadian comedian, actress and screenwriter, Mae Martin was born on May 2, 1987 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Martin’s family lived on the Greek island of Corfu for several years when Martin was baptized there.

The family home was full of recordings of British classics (Monty Python’s Flying Circus, The Goon Show, Blackadder) as well as American comedians like Steve Martin, as James and Wendy were former hippies and comedy enthusiasts.

Martin performed on stage while wearing school uniform while attending an all-girls school. Martin says his upbringing was like a “liberal utopia” when it came to sexuality because his parents were accommodating and Toronto was a welcoming city.

Mae Martin’s career

Martin’s career began in Canada, where they were part of the comedy group “The Young and the Useless”. They worked at The Second City comedy club, both at the box office and as comedians.

At 16, Martin was the youngest nominee for the Tim Sims Encouragement Fund Award. Martin has written for the Canadian sketch comedy series Baroness von Sketch Show.

They worked with the writing team on this program and twice won Outstanding Writing in the Variety or Sketch Comedy Series category at the Canadian Screen Awards.

Looking for a fresh start, Martin moved to London in 2011, fell in love with the city and initially worked in dead-end jobs to focus on his career in British comedy.

Her performance Mae Martin: Us at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2015 inspired the BBC Radio 4 program Mae Martin’s Guide to 21st Century Sexuality. Martin co-hosted GrownUpLand and appeared on the British radio and television show The Now Show.

The title of the 2017 Edinburgh production, “Dope,” alludes to both prescription drugs and the brain chemical dopamine, which is linked to compulsive behavior. But love can also be a drug.

It is based on years of study and draws on the work of Dr. Gabor Maté, who defines addiction as any action or substance that a person does to temporarily relieve pain, but that has long-term adverse effects.

Without treating the underlying source of pain, even if a person tries to quit, they will eventually seek further relief and be more likely to relapse.

By this description, a variety of topics in contemporary culture, including sex, food, work, social media, and, of course, drugs, can potentially be addictive. Mae Martin’s two-part 2017 Guide to 21st Century Addiction included mate.

Dope, a film about Martin’s addictive personality, was adapted into a half-hour Netflix comedy special released in January 2019 as part of the Comedians of the World series. They characterized him as having “an easily aroused psychotic shrimp” in his head.

As a result, Martin co-created, wrote, and starred in the comedy series Feel Good for Channel 4 and Netflix. In 2021, the second season was made available.

They made a guest appearance on LOL: Last One Laughing Canada in 2022. Later that year, they had a recurring appearance as Grace St. James in the HBO Max series The Flight Attendant.

A “teen comedy thriller” is currently in production with Netflix. In addition to “Gene”, a thriller, Martin is also directing two other films with his writing partner Hampson.
