How Old Is Mae Planert?
Briefly.co.za reports that her birthday is July 10, 1990, which would make her 36 in September 2026. Her official biography on the Tuesdays with Stories website does not list a birth date. Treat the exact date as reported, not confirmed.
Early Life and Education in Massachusetts
Planert was born and raised in Sandwich, Massachusetts, according to her official profile on the Tuesdays with Stories website. She attended Thayer Academy in Braintree, where she played hockey as a goalie. She then earned a bachelor’s degree in Media Communications at Roger Williams University.
Legit.ng and Briefly.co.za both name her parents as Jean and Thomas Planert. Legit.ng adds that she reportedly grew up with two siblings. No other details about her family are public.
From Corporate Sales to the Comedy Stage
Her working life did not begin in comedy. After college, she moved to Boston and worked as a global education consultant at Education First, according to Coming Soon. She later moved to New York and held account executive roles at LinkedIn, Gilt, and SEVENROOMS, per the same report.
Today she is a director of brand partnerships at Skeepers, an influencer marketing platform, based on her official profile. That job sits alongside a touring schedule, which makes her path different from comedians who quit everything else to chase stage time. She treats comedy and marketing as two full careers.
How She Started Stand-Up
Legit.ng reports that Planert began performing in secret, and that her then-boyfriend Mark Normand only found out when both turned up at the same show. Briefly.co.za noted in 2022 that her stand-up career had run for about five years, against roughly fifteen for her husband. She has not given a start date in any source reviewed here.
She has described her entry into comedy as the cliché of a comic’s girlfriend trying the stage herself, as relayed by Tilt from the Wife of the Party podcast. She also keeps a professional distance from her husband’s act.
Comedy Style and Club Career
Planert’s official New York Comedy Club profile calls her a regular on the city’s club and bar show circuit. It says she has appeared on Comedy Central digital and opened for headliners across the country. Her material goes after hypocrisy and double standards, and the profile jokes that the one thing she dislikes more than a hypocrite is herself.
The same profile lists some unusual rooms she has played: basements, an airplane hangar, a Chuck E. Cheese, and a Duane Reade. She also co-produces Borscht, a comedy show that benefits New York charities. That mix of grimy rooms and charity work says more about her than a list of credits would.
Why the Day Job Matters to Her Comedy
Her official profile describes Skeepers as an influencer marketing platform, so Planert spends her workdays on partnerships between creators and brands. The same skill set applies when a comic needs sponsors for a podcast or a tour.
There is a second benefit that is easy to miss. A steady paycheck lets a comedian turn down bad bookings and take time to write an hour. Planert has said little publicly about how she balances the two, so this is an observation from the record, not a claim she has made.
Podcasts: We Were Had, Doomscroll Diaries, and Hot Goss, Cold Ice
Her podcasting work started with Risque Business News, which she made with comedian Laura Sogar, as reported by Coming Soon, citing People. That show grew into Doomscroll Diaries, which the two still host together, according to her official profile.
She also hosts We Were Had with Maximilian Spin and Chris Metcalfe of the 2 Kramers podcast, plus Ben Kirschenbaum. Her newest project is Hot Goss, Cold Ice, made with comedian Jen Keefe. Three current shows on top of a marketing career and a touring schedule are a heavy load.
How Her Podcast Lineup Fits Together
The three current shows serve different jobs. We Were Had is a group format with four comedians, so the load is shared. Doomscroll Diaries is a two-person show built on a long partnership with Laura Sogar, and Hot Goss, Cold Ice pairs her with Jen Keefe on a newer format.
Running several shows with rotating co-hosts also means her name reaches the audiences of other comedians, including the fans of the 2 Kramers podcast. For a performer whose solo profile is still smaller than her husband’s, that overlap is a practical way to grow.
…Who Is She?: The Debut Special
Comedy Dynamics released Mae Planert…Who Is She? on January 21, 2025. The special runs 48 minutes and was taped in New York City. Jason Katz directed it and produced it with Planert, and Planert wrote it.
The official description says she covers marriage, being a jealous wife, true crime, and a pediatrician gone wild. Her own tagline for the hour is that she knew she was trying to get pregnant, so she wanted to release the jokes before her life changed. The special is listed on Prime Video and Tubi, and Comedy Dynamics says it is available on Apple TV, YouTube, Google Play, and Vimeo as well.
For a comic with a day job, a produced hour is a real marker. It also gave her a project that carries her name alone, which matters because so much coverage of her is framed around her husband.
Reading the Special: What the Jokes Reveal
The listed topics show a comic who builds material from her own life and then pushes it further. The topics cover personal ground, such as marriage and jealousy, and wider ground, such as true crime. Her stated framing, that she wanted to record the hour before pregnancy changed her schedule, gives the special a clear point in time.
That timing matters for readers who want to place her career. The special came out in January 2025, and her son was born in early 2025, so the hour captures her at a specific turning point.
Mae Planert and Mark Normand
Planert met Normand at The Stand Comedy Club in New York. According to Coming Soon, which cites the Over the Moon podcast, she was on a date with someone else that night. After the date ended, she found him on Facebook, and they began seeing each other.
Legit.ng dates the start of the relationship to 2015. Tilt reports they dated for six years before getting engaged. Normand proposed in July 2021 during her family trip to Martha’s Vineyard, per Coming Soon.
They married on November 10, 2022, in New Orleans, Louisiana, according to Legit.ng.
Family Life
Her official profile says she and Normand have one child, a boy born in early 2025. Nothing beyond that is public, and it is fair to leave it there.
Planert and Normand have worked together on screen, too. Both appear in his YouTube sketch “Brightside” and in the 2025 documentary feature Anxiety Club, per the same profile. Her official profile is hosted on the Tuesdays with Stories website, the podcast Normand is part of.
Mae Planert Net Worth
No reliable source has published a verified net worth for Mae Planert. Sites that print a specific number rarely show how they got it, so this article does not repeat one.
What can be said is where her income comes from. She holds a director-level brand partnerships role at Skeepers, performs live comedy, and has a special and several podcasts. Her likely income sources are the job, live bookings, and media revenue, but none of those amounts are public.
Readers who find a dollar figure elsewhere should check whether the page names a source and a date. Comedy income shifts with each tour, special, and sponsor deal, so any number without that support is a guess. This section will need a review if Planert or her representatives ever share financial details.
Her husband’s earnings are a separate matter. Combining the two would be a guess, and joint finances between spouses are not public record.
Why Her Path Stands Out
Most comedians who share a life with a bigger name are described by that relationship for years. Planert has slowly moved the conversation toward her own work: a produced special, several podcasts, and a charity show she co-produces. Her audience is still growing, and Briefly.co.za noted in 2022 that Reddit interest in her was rising as a comedian in her own right.
She is also an example of a working model that rarely gets covered. She keeps a career in influencer marketing, which pays regularly and connects her to brands, and uses it to fund a comedy career that does not depend on any single booking. That is a practical answer to a business with unstable income.
Her main gap is visibility. Her husband is the better-known name in comedy, and Briefly.co.za reported her Instagram following at about 14,100 in 2022. The special and the podcasts are her best routes to changing that.
Where to Find Mae Planert Online
Planert uses the handle @mae_planert on Instagram and YouTube, and she has a LinkedIn profile under her name. Ticketed shows have been listed on her New York Comedy Club page. Her special can be streamed on Prime Video and Tubi. Her podcasts are available wherever podcasts are streamed, and the Tuesdays with Stories website links to her Hot Goss, Cold Ice page.
What Comes Next
Planert has not announced a second special or a tour in any source reviewed here. Her official profile still describes her as balancing a comedy schedule with her job at Sleepers, so the current setup looks likely to continue. Anything further would be speculation, and this article will need a check whenever she announces new dates or projects.
A Note on Conflicting Reports
Several biography sites repeat claims that do not trace back to a primary source. One blog says she has performed on late-night television shows, but no official profile, venue page, or network listing reviewed here confirms that. Those claims are left out.
The confirmed screen credit for her stand-up is the Comedy Central digital appearance listed on her New York Comedy Club profile.
