Mae Martin's (TheMaeMartin) latest show, Sap, signals a turn toward something warmer, unmarred by present divisiveness though still clearly politically conscious. SaffronMaeve has more:
, comedian Mae Martin likened addiction to an intemperate French-Canadian shrimp curled inside our brains, constantly dozing off and jolting awake, itching for pleasure when conscious. The slimy little Francophone is a hedonist and, as any addict will tell you, a light sleeper. “When your shrimp wakes up, it’s bad news,” said Martin. “He will eat the rest of your brain.”
It would be a gross disservice to relegate Martin to a “type” of comedy when their work is so intimate. But addiction and queerness are paramount to their storytelling, onstage, onscreen, and in print, as they also penned the 2019 novel.
Martin acknowledged the heft of trans and non-binary visibility which their job necessitates. Perhaps the most well-received portion of the show was dedicated to a spoken fantasy of Dave Chapelle andcoming to terms with their own infantile politics, cosseting each other after realizing they’ve been wrong all along.
