How to Laugh In Terrifying Times with Mae Martin

Description:

Comedian, actor, producer, and all-around icon Mae Martin is here and we are thriving! Mae’s the co-host of the Handsome podcast with Tig Notaro and Fortune Feimster, and they’ve got a brand new Netflix show Wayward (which hit #1 on Netflix on opening weekend) out now with effing Toni Collette that we are absolutely obsessed with.

JVN sat down with Mae ahead of the release to talk all about finding humor in the scariest of times, turning pain into power, and the very real teenage experiences that inspired Mae’s new show. Plus: queer intrigue on TV, eating boiled eggs in your parents’ basement (relatable), and what it’s like to dive into the entertainment industry at such a young age.

From A-list thrillers to how we gaslight young people to just getting the ball rolling on your next big idea, this episode is giving you everything!
