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 Philadelphia
Philadelphia's music scene has always had room for artists who don't fit neatly into boxes. The city's indie and alternative crowds are thoughtful listeners who appreciate wit and precision in songwriting. There's a strong tradition here of supporting comedians who also make music, and performers who blur genre lines. Mae Martin's approach—intelligent, often funny, musically assured—should find receptive ears in a city that's never been interested in the obvious.
Philadelphia road trip to see Mae Martin?
Stay in Rittenhouse Square, where you can walk to dinner at Vetri, the restaurant that actually deserves its reputation. Spend your afternoon at the Barnes Foundation—it's genuinely world-class, even if you're not typically a museum person. Walk through Old City, grab coffee at Little Lion, wander through galleries that don't feel like they're trying too hard. If you have time before the show, check out what's playing at The Fillmore or Johnny Brenda's, venues that consistently book solid acts. The neighborhood around the venue is worth exploring on foot.
