A New Show, A New Perspective

The tour coincides with a significant personal milestone for Martin: obtaining a driver’s license. “It’s changed my whole personality,” Martin remarked, reflecting on the newfound freedom and independence that comes with being able to drive as reported by the New York Times. Despite this newfound ability, Martin will not be driving themselves on the tour, opting instead to have someone else handle the driving duties.

“The Possum” promises a blend of personal anecdotes, observational comedy, and Martin’s signature self-deprecating style. The comedian’s work often explores themes of identity, addiction, and recovery, delivered with a disarming honesty that resonates with fans.

They similarly wrote for and executive produced the limited series. Martin co-hosts the comedy podcast Handsome with Tig Notaro and Fortune Feimster.
