Mae Martin's work in progress show is held in a somewhat dilapidated building with apparently blood smeared walls and a noose hanging from a window frame. They're not part of her show, but they create a rather odd space for a somewhat cheerful hour. Having seen Mae Martin at a Comedy Countdown show from the night before (not reviewed, but if you're wondering, it wasn't anywhere as good as the first time I saw it - still decent enough though).
Though it's not polished, Martin's material is honest and gives an amusing insight into her very liberal upbringing. It's a rather charming hour ranging from her crippling insomnia to the childish antics of her genius brother and riffs from the audience suggestions bucket. Though there weren't any hearty laughs (apart from one great throwaway ad lib) it's a pleasant hour and there's great potential for a very good show.
