Andie Main never explains the name for her debut comedy album, Magpie, during the record’s 45-ish-minute stand-up set. But over email she says the album’s cover should clue people in. It shows her two tattoos, one on each forearm. “One is of a magpie taking off, which I got when I knew I had to leave town. The other is of a magpie landing, which I got on the same day I recorded the album.”
