Demetri Martin at Barrymore Theatre
Comedian Demetri Martin’s shaggy bowl cut and penchant for striped sweaters has always tied in well with his material: simple-seeming jokes that typically involve crudely drawn overhead slides or guitar-strummed songs, pointing out the illogical nature of the world. (“Swimming is a confusing sport because sometimes you do it for fun and other times you do it to not die.”) In recent years, Martin has released two comedy albums and a live DVD (Demetri Martin. Person.), starred in Ang Lee’s movie Taking Woodstock, and hosted two seasons of his Jon Stewart-produced Comedy Central stand-up and sketch show Important Things With Demetri Martin. Most recently, the polymathic comedian added author to his CV, with 2011’s This Is A Book.
