Mae Martin\u2019s \u201cThe Possum\u201d tour may be named after an animal famous for playing dead, but their show is bursting with life.<\/p>\n

Martin\u2019s comedic style is vulnerable, drawing on personal experiences blended with jokes that linger. Martin\u2019s recent material focuses on the Canadian-born comedian\u2019s transition to living in Los Angeles, with detours into dabbling in the occult, witchcraft and holistic healing. (Martin has even teased a mind-reading portion of the show.) <\/p>\n

Besides amateur mystic, Martin counts among their hats singer-songwriter, podcast host, writer and actor. Martin is unafraid to delve into their experiences as a non-binary comedian who has been in the game since they were a teenager. Audiences can expect introspection and pessimistic optimism when Martin takes the stage at the Plaza Live. <\/p>\n

7 p.m. Thursday, March 5, The Plaza Live, 425 N. Bumby Ave., plazaliveorlando.org<\/a>, $39.<\/p>\n
