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

Portland road trip to see Mae Martin?
Stay in the Pearl District or Nob Hill for walkability and the kind of quiet that lets you recover between shows. Eat at Canard, where the charcuterie and wine list are thoughtfully curated—it's the kind of place that respects both food and your time. Spend the afternoon at Powell's Books, the massive independent that justifies its reputation. Walk through Forest Park if the weather cooperates. Portland's best element is how it refuses to take itself too seriously while maintaining actual standards. That's worth the trip.
