Mae Martin multi-hyphenates bigly. The Canadian comedian, actor, author and singer-songwriter — currently seen in the Netflix psychological thriller, Wayward, which took the No. 1 spot on the streamer’s Top 10 list, will revisit their comedy roots on a 37-city 2026 North American tour of their new show, The Possum.
Announced on Monday (Oct. 13), the tour will begin Feb. 26, 2026 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and conclude May 11 in Nashville. It will be the largest tour to date for Martin, who primarily performed shows in Canada and the United Kingdom. Show and Tell, which has produced tours for Please Don’t Destroy, Atsuko Okatsuka and Ramy Youssef and Martin, is the promoter.
Tickets will be available via Martin’s website on Tuesday (Oct. 14) at 10 a.m. local time with the pre-sale code MAELIVE. Fans can also buy VIP tickets that will entitle them to meet-and-greet opportunities, exclusive tour merchandise and front-row seats.
In addition to starring in Wayward as a small-town cop suspicious of a local academy for troubled teens, Martin wrote for and executive produced the limited series. They currently co-host the comedy podcast Handsome with fellow comedians Tig Notaro and Fortune Feimster.
Martin’s first comedy special, 2017’s Dope, was nominated for best comedy show at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards and became a stand-up special for Netflix. Their follow-up, Mae Martin SAP, debuted on Netflix in 2023 and was shortlisted for a comedy album of the year Juno Award in Canada.
Martin is well-known for their 2020-2021 semi-autobiographical comedy-drama series Feel Good, which they co-wrote, starred in, and executive produced. (The show also ran on Netflix.) They appeared on the second season of the HBO comedy-drama series The Flight Attendant starring Kaley Cuoco.
If that isn’t enough, in 2019, Martin published the autobiographical handbook, Can Everyone Please Calm Down?: A Guide to 21st Century Sexuality, and this past February released their debut music album, the indie-rock flavored I’m A TV.
