About Mae Martin
Mae Martin is a Canadian comedian and musician who makes songs that sit somewhere between observational comedy and genuinely affecting indie rock. They're probably best known for comedy—Netflix specials, the TV show Feel Good, that kind of thing—but the music is less of a side project and more of an extension of the same brain. Their songs tend toward the honest and slightly self-deprecating, whether they're joking about coffee culture or actually getting at something real about anxiety and identity. If you've heard "Bullshit" or "Are You a Cow?" you know they're not above absurdism, but there's usually something sincere underneath. They write in a conversational way that makes you feel like they're thinking through something in real time. The songs work whether you care about their comedy or not—they're just tight, weird little indie tracks with good hooks.
Mae's shows feel less like concert and more like extended hangout with someone who's really good at noticing things. Crowd is mixed comedy fans and actual music people. They don't do much banter between songs but the songs themselves do the talking. Low energy isn't the same as low engagement—people actually listen.
Known for Bullshit, Are You a Cow?, Flat White, The Cure for Loneliness, Good Kid

Live Music in Boston
Boston has always had a soft spot for intelligent indie artists who don't need to shout. The city's venues have hosted plenty of musicians who blend narrative and experimental sound—think early-2000s art-rock sensibility mixed with contemporary folk introspection. Mae Martin's blend of comedy and genuine musicianship should find common ground with an audience that appreciates precision over spectacle.
Boston road trip to see Mae Martin?
Stay in the Back Bay neighborhood—it's walkable, lined with brownstones, and positioned between the best dining and the waterfront. Book a table at No. 9 Park for New American cooking that actually justifies the hype, or hit Oleana in nearby Cambridge if you want something fresher and less fussy. Spend an afternoon at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, a genuinely strange and rewarding art collection housed in a deliberately eccentric mansion. The Prudential Center has decent shopping if that's your thing, and the waterfront is legitimately beautiful for a walk before the show.
