Marc Maron was deep in the throes of trauma and grief over the sudden loss of his creative partner and girlfriend, Lynn Shelton, in 2020. Three years later, the comedian-actor-podcaster is exploring loss and the state of the world in a new HBO special.
At the time, Maron would often take to his front porch and work through his feelings publicly on social media. He lamented Shelton and wondered if he would ever perform standup again, both because of his emotional state and restrictions due to the pandemic. Three years later, the comedian-actor-podcaster is off his porch and back on stage, laughing, again. He explores loss and the state of the world in a new HBO special, “Marc Maron: From Bleak to Dark.
” Without giving away part of the special, Maron explores the idea of mysticism as the common crutch humanity leans to in order to make sense of death. When he misses Shelton and can’t stop crying, Maron tells the audience he starts to greet what he thinks is her, returning in the form of a bird. “I think the touching and the weird thing that people in grief have is that you look for that. You want to believe that stuff. That they’re out there, they’re with you, they’re still there.
