Mae presently co-hosts the hit comedy podcast Handsome, which was recently acquired by the Headgum podcast network, alongside Tig Notaro and Fortune Feimster. On television, Mae is best known for their semi-autobiographical comedy-drama series FEEL GOOD, which they co-wrote, starred in, and executive produced. Their work in FEEL GOOD earned them a 2021 BAFTA TV Award nomination and widespread praise, including a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Mae also starred on season two of HBO Max's THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT in 2022 and appeared as a contestant and won Season 15 of Channel 4's game show TASKMASTER the following year. In 2024, Mae won a Canadian Screen Award for their supporting role in the six-part docu-comedy series I HAVE NOTHING. Beloved for their stand-up comedy, Mae's first special DOPE was nominated for "Best Comedy Show" at the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Awards while earning four- and five-star reviews. The show has since been turned into a stand-up special for Netflix as part of the global stand-up series, COMEDIANS OF THE WORLD. Mae's follow up stand-up special SAP, directed by Abbi Jacobson, debuted on Netflix in 2023 to positive reviews, earning a Juno Award nomination for 'Comedy Album of the Year.' Mae has also ventured into documentary work, hosting the CBC docuseries FLUID: LIFE BEYOND THE BINARY in spring of 2024, and appearing in Netflix's OUTSTANDING: A COMEDY REVOLUTION, which premiered at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival.
"I'm A TV" mission statement:
"I've been writing songs since I was a teenager, with no intention of ever sharing them, but it took moving to LA a couple of years ago and really having some time to sit alone in a rented apartment to reconnect with that Toronto teen. I didn't realise how badly I wanted to sit with an acoustic guitar by myself and get to say what I wanted to say without the pressure to find a punchline. Then, filling out the sounds with a band, collaborating with friends, I just leaned into warmth and simplicity and tried to learn this new medium as best I could and trust my gut. All that matters to me is that the album feels like an authentic extension of everything I write and do. No matter the medium I've been trying to say the same thing my whole life, and I kind of hope I never figure out how to say it perfectly because the joy is in trying to express it."
