Mae Martin took to social media yesterday afternoon (January 27) to announce a London show at O2 Forum Kentish Town to celebrate the release of their debut album ‘I’m a TV’.
In the Instagram post, the comedian-turned-musician shared the news of a mini tour they will be completing to go alongside the release of their debut. Commencing in Los Angeles’ The Regent Theatre, Martin will go on to perform exclusive shows in Toronto, New York City, before concluding in London, throughout late February and early March.
They expressed the excitement of the tour online: “Ohhh man I’m so excited to announce I’m doing a mini tour in support of my new album!”
The Canadian comedian, actor, screenwriter and musician is renowned for their self-aware works, often focusing on themes of sexuality and addiction. Martin co-created, co-wrote and co-starred in BAFTA nominated comedy-drama series Feel Good, where they starred alongside Charlotte Ritchie to play a fictionalised version of themself navigating addiction recovery and romantic fixations. Since then, Martin has expanded their creative portfolio by delving into the world of music, releasing ‘Good Dream’ and ‘Stowaway’, two sincerely introspective tracks that feature on their upcoming release.
The Canadian comic announced their debut earlier this month, stating it was ‘coming soon’ via Universal Music Canada (UMC). In anticipation for the release, Chairmen and CEO of UMC expressed the label’s excitement for the LP: “Mae is an incredibly talented, multi-disciplinary artist. They show up authentically, sharing their life experiences with openness, humour, honesty – and the result is a deep, personal connection with countless fans. Adding music to Mae’s portfolio feels like a natural extensions. The body of work they’ve created is intimate and inspiring. We couldn’t be more thrilled to partner with Mae in bringing it to the world”. Martin went on to reveal that ‘I’m A TV’ required time and space to reconnect with their past self to complete the album. With the desire for the completed album to be “an authentic extension” of everything they “write and do”. The forthcoming album is set to release on February 27, meaning the show in London on March 9 will allow fans to encounter Martin’s “earnest” creation exhibiting the comic at their most honest and vulnerable.
