Mae Martin - US

Adorable, charming, Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Mae Martin comes of age in this internationally lauded hit show about identity, sexuality, biphobia and loneliness. Peering through the lens of her own fluid experience with love and sexuality, in Us, Mae Martin questions whether we actually need to label ourselves at all, and that perhaps those labels smother the nuances of who we are. This hilarious hour charmingly juxtaposes her liberal childhood milieu with her experiences in her contemporary life, telling the story of her plummeting through puberty and dropping out of high school along the way. Martins gentle charm makes it all highly watchable. **** Times Mae Martin has a bright future in comedy. ***** Mirror Soho Theatre on Demand offers the very best of comedy filmed live at Soho Theatre, Londons most vibrant venue for new theatre, comedy and cabaret. You can watch full-length shows as if the comedians were standing right in front of you.
