The punchlines aren’t in your face, but instead, they kind of slide in through the back door of your mind, making you laugh raucously but also think more intensely about the points that Martin is trying to make.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Sometimes, Martin’s self-effacing looseness muffles the impact of promising material; more often, though, it has the unaffected pleasure of hearing a friend share a good story they’ve heard.

Rated: 4/5

Out Magazine

Martin combines the blunt confessional style of Mike Birbiglia and casual storytelling of Tig Notaro with the eccentricities and excited energy of Maria Bamford.

Martin acknowledges at one point they’re perhaps preaching to the choir in the theater, but perhaps more than a few viewers unfamiliar with Martin will happen upon their special and learn a thing or two, too. At least that’s my sappy hope.

Ready Steady Cut

Mae Martin’s style isn’t going to be for everyone. Their delivery is slightly dry sometimes, and the storytelling might be off-putting to some.

It ends with a whimper when it needed a bang. If the audience misses the point of the long story that is your closer, you need to work on it more. Begging "You truly must get on board" called to mind Jeb Bush saying "Please clap". Up until that point, it was OK: low-energy storytelling like a lot of stand-up these days, but with some amusing insights. Unfortunately, not a good introduction to the large Netflix audience.

I stumbled upon Feel Good a few weeks ago and ended up binge watching both seasons. The Mae Martin in SAP is exactly the same person whose journey I became invested in while watching the series. Yes, it doesn't follow the usual laugh-a-minute stand-up recipe and if this is your first exposure to Mae, I can see how it might seem underwhelming. But I love that wide-eyed nervous energy, subdued delivery and off-beat timing. The writing is intelligent and sincere, with a social conscience and more than a handful of important messages delivered during the course of the routine. If slap-stick comedy is your thing, then Mae Martin certainly won't be. But if you're looking for somebody authentic and funny in their own way, without scoring cheap laughs at the expense of others, then pull up a chair and enjoy some Mae magic ❤️

Had me cackling the whole way through, so touching and relatable. Mae is incredibly clever, insightful and hilarious. My kind of chaos, thanks for the sap
