Hi everyone, it's Sophia. Welcome back to work in progress.

Today I have one of my favorite creators on the show and I managed to keep my cool,

which honestly is a win. Main Martin is on the show today.

May is a hilarious, cool, award-winning British Canadian comedian, actor, writer,

stand-up and producer, who can currently be seen starring in her own show Feel Good on Netflix.

It is a scripted semi-autobiographical dramedy series that she created and co-wrote.

The first season co-stars Lisa Kudrow, Charlotte Richie, and Sophie Thompson,

and it earned a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

And if that wasn't enough, when the Edinburgh TV Award for 2020 for Best Series,

May is currently developing a new young adult drama with Netflix,

and her most recent stand-up show Dope, focused on addiction, has been turned into a stand-up

special for Netflix. I asked May to come on work in progress today because her work is so

open and honest and smart and funny. It's brilliantly observant. It makes me feel incredibly

seen, and it raises awareness about so many things, from sexuality and identity to addiction and

mental health in an incredibly unique way that recognizes what so many people go through and

also keeps audiences laughing all through the series. I cannot wait for you all to listen to

this special interview because I know you will find May as wonderful, inspiring, and interesting as I do.

I'm so excited that you're here. I'm really excited. And that things are better and less gray

also in London than they were a few months ago. It's so weird that we talked at the beginning

of lockdown being like, this is crazy. I guess it'll be a weird... I don't think this is going to

last. Yeah, this will be a couple of weeks and then here we are. I was thinking today there's

kids who were 10 when they started and they're now 12. I mean, that's crazy. It's very surreal.
