Mae Martin
The Wilbur — Boston, MA

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

Providence has cultivated a steady indie and alternative music presence over the years, with venues that actually care about booking artists doing something different. The city's not massive, but it's got enough curiosity and enough people who've moved there specifically for the arts to support acts that blend comedy, music, and performance art. Mae Martin fits that profile well.

Stay in College Hill, where you can actually walk around without feeling like you're in a dead zone—the neighborhood has real restaurants and bars. Eat at Chez Pascal or Oberlin for something serious. Before the show, spend an afternoon at the RISD Museum, which is legitimately excellent and free if you're a student or cheap enough if you're not. The museum's collection is small enough to actually process in a couple hours, which beats most cities. Walk down Benefit Street afterward. It's the kind of place that reminds you why people actually used to settle in New England intentionally.
