Back in June I mentioned that comedian Demetri Martin had a one-hour special coming up early next year. Well, it's now early next year, and the special is called Demetri Martin. Person. That seems accurate enough. If you're a fan of Martin, you won't be surprised that the comedy special will include animation, drawings and music all culled from the mind of Mr. Martin. It will air on January 14 at 10pm.
Demetri attended law school briefly but dropped out to get into comedy. I'm not sure why he thought he couldn't do both. I mean, you've got the jury sitting right there, it's like a captive audience. Sure, you'd probably lose every case and innocent people would go to jail for life, but you would have made people laugh, and that's what it's really all about.

Im a big fan of demetri.
His audio cd "these are jokes" was great but i have a feeling that most of his special will be mostly a combination from the cd and his "comedy central presents" performance and only few new jokes.
I hope that wont be true.

I'd think the lawyer's obligatory selling-your-soul-to-Satan bit would have some negative effects on your comedy. Then again, there's Adam Sandler. [What else could explain him?]

To me, Demetri seems like one of those comics who makes observations that he thinks nobody's ever noticed, but actually everybody has, when they were eight years old. Like the title of his show: Demetri Martin. Person. Oh, I get it. He's a person! That's so obvious, but nobody thinks of it! Hysterical!

The special is airing on Comedy Central, for those who (like me) were wondering.

I guess he's hot shit since Windows Vista has him for their campaign and all that. He does have some funny quips. Glitter is the herpes of craft supplies. Kudos Dimitri

Demitri well done on the special, your view of the world and use of music did indeed make it special.
