This week, my Good Job Podcast guest is comedian Mae Martin. Mae has accolades across different comedy genres, radio shows, a book and musical comedy. Most recently, Mae starred in 'Feel Good' a semi-autobiographical show about her life that she also wrote for Channel 4/Netflix.
We discuss her battle with addiction, why honesty is important in comedy, how society perceives sex and gender and what it was like acting for the first time.
