Mae Planert...Who Is She?

Mae Planert leans straight into the obvious question raised by the title: plenty of people in the room know her husband before they know her, and she uses that dynamic as fuel rather than avoiding it. She builds the set out of petty domestic grievances, freely admitting to jealous impulses and rationalizing pregnancy as an aggressive shortcut to sobriety.

Filmed at Grove 34 in Queens in April 2024 and directed by Jason Katz, the 48-minute set was released by Comedy Dynamics in January 2025. Planert had already spent years working New York clubs and co-hosting the podcasts Risque Business News and We Were Had, but the release marked her first standalone recorded hour.

Her strongest material leans into self-indictment. Whether talking about crunchy acquaintances, true crime obsession, or an unhinged pediatrician, she routinely paints herself into corners and refuses to pretend she is the voice of reason.
