I am not a fan of stand-up routines but the special airing on Comedy Central right now has to be one of my favorite things ever! Demetri Martin (special youth correspondent on A Daily Show, does the “Trendspotting” segments) has such a unique and hilarious routine. He starts out simple with some humorous situational jokes and then moves on to hand-drawn sketches and then plays the piano. If you haven’t seen this, Netflix it (better on DVD, it isn’t bleeped) right away! And that is the title of it, Person. Just look up Demetri Martin, you’ll find it.
This is even trumping a rerun of “Branch Closing” of The Office on TBS.
I’ve seen him on Comedy Central before and I did catch him again last night, too. He’s HILARIOUS!
I think the music part is my favorite. That and I love the squirrel joke about him not being as focused as a squirrel. So funny. He’s supposed to get his own show on Comedy Central later this year, but with the strike who knows if that will happen.
Ooh thanks. i WILL Netflix it. I love Demetri Martin. Boom cha, boom cha, waee waee….TRENDS! (My very poor imitation of the Trendspotting opening.)
