She has also written a book called Can everyone Please calm down? A guide to 21st century sexuality. Martin’s comedy is self-deprecating and gently philosophical, a far cry from the long-reigning standard of ranty monologues spewed by disaffected dudes. Martin allows earnestness in, as opposed to, as they put it, performing in sunglasses. In the noughties, one of Martin’s heroes, Sarah Silverman, adopted an ironic persona – a squeamish, ignorant proto-Karen – as a way to smuggle in a social critique, but still fit in with the bilious stand-up culture of the moment. Martin admires how Silverman has more recently stated that comedy is not evergreen: “As society evolves and changes there’s things you just wouldn’t say now, and you just have to keep listening and evolving. It’s not that hard to not be offensive.” So I remember just sitting there with wet hair, in between two changing rooms. It was like the perfect metaphor… the chlorine drying on my skin and waiting for my dad to come out of the men’s changing room.”

In one standup monologue, Martin says that their mother drew diagrams for her young child to illustrate everything from the missionary position to anal sex. On stage, Martin says that on the first day of school, aged four, they told any pupil who would listen how to perform anal sex while delivering the savage blow that Father Christmas didn’t exist. Martin admits there was comedic licence there – it wasn’t quite the first day, but the essence of it was true. “I was delivering a lot of hard truths to the kids. I was just like: I can’t believe we’re all living in this charade.”
