Martin was a member of the sketch comedy group Massive Dad, along with the comedians Tessa Coates and Liz Kingsman.[8] In 2018, Martin began doing solo work when the group shifted towards more writing and less live performance. She made her debut performance of Stevie Martin: Vol 1 at the Edinburgh Fringe.[9][10]
That year, Martin began hosting the podcast The Debrief - later renamed Nobody Panic - with writer and performer Tessa Coates.[11][12] The two began the podcast to provide a helping hand as they too navigate their adulthood.[13] Her first book, co-authored by Coates and published in 2021, is also called Nobody Panic: How to be a Functioning Adult Without Screaming.[14] The podcast was placed on hiatus in June 2024.[15]
In 2020, Martin began doing online sketches with actor Lola-Rose Maxwell.[16][17] She rose to prominence as a result of the sketches' popularity.[18]
Martin has appeared on TV shows, including 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Starstruck, Breeders, The Mash Report, Guessable, The Emily Atack Show, The Taskmaster TV show and The Horne Section TV Show.[19] She has written for TV shows, including The Russell Howard Hour.[20] She also writes a newsletter called The S is a 5.[21] With her sister, Gina Martin, she previously hosted the podcast Might Delete Later.[22] She has appeared on podcasts, including RHLSTP.[23]
In 2025, Martin was announced as a contestant in the 19th series of Taskmaster, alongside Fatiha El-Ghorri, Jason Mantzoukas, Mathew Baynton and Rosie Ramsey.[24] Martin also hosted the three part mini series Got the Shot, alongside Lara Ricote, featuring the two traveling Great Britain in search of destinations to experience iconic movie genres. The series was produced by national tourism agency VisitBritain in hopes to increase tourism.[25]
