Demetri has brown hair and he is allergic to peanuts.
When he did his flip chart routine - like he does on the show to play with words -- the flip chart could only be seen if you were sitting right in front of it. He needed a much bigger flip chart or screen and a black thick magic marker - not some lame pen you could barely see. We were slightly off to the side and could not see a thing. VERY disappointing. Surely he can afford better props than he had.
Demetri Martin was awesome!!! New material and jokes from the show.
I have seen a lot of comedy shows and this was by far the best. He had me laughing the entire time! I was very impressed because he did all new material and then did old favorites at the end. The show was also over 2 hours long. He did stand up, guitar jokes, keyboard songs, and large pad jokes. It was truly, the funniest show I have ever seen and I would highly recommend it to anyone! "Whenever I try to spell banana, it makes me feel stupid. Cause I don't know when to end it. I'm like, how many nas are on this thing? Bana - keep going. Bananana - damn!" -Demetri Martin
I've seen most of Demetri's televised stand-up and thought it was very funny. His live show is absolutely hilarious. I don't know that I've ever laughed that hard in my life. My face hurt from laughing so much when I left the theater. I would definitely see him again if I had the chance.
Demetri Martin is a fantastic comedian, and his live show didn't disappoint!
While the opener was a little lackluster, Demetri Martin absolutley killed it. With mostly new material but still a decent amount of classics, it was hard to get much better. Other than not being able to see some of the visual material so well; I have no complaints.
If you are smart and you like stuff that is odd and funny, go see DM. He is super-awesome! If you are not smart...Dane Cook always seems to be on tour!
Demetri Martin was awesome, I don't remember the person who opened for him, but he was really not good.
I saw him on Comedy Central first and had to see him live when I found out he would be in the area. I laughed from the very beginning to the very end. It was an evening very well spent; I didn't want the show to end.
Not just hilarious, but quick-witted as well, Martin puts on a fantastic show. He made a lot of spur-of-the-moment jokes, interacted with the audience, and even put a heckler in his place at everyone's amusement! One of the best comedians on tour.
Demetri was absolutely hilarious. He mixed in tons of new jokes with some of the best of his older jokes. I was delirious with laughter by the end of the show!
Ended up in the back of the theatre, but it was still worthwhile. Just as funny, maybe funnier, than the comedy central show. Can take a local issue, of which he is completely unaware, and spin audience reactions to make it into a recurring joke. Lots of material here in Kansas City, audience-wise :)
The date of this event was changed from its original, but an email was sent so quickly that it we had no problem adjusting our schedule. The venue is a great place, with a full bar and really great staff. Staff was also really helpful in getting to our seats or helping locate the restroom. And then, there was Demetri Martin! He was a little late coming on stage, which created great anticipation. The show was phenomenal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He even interacted with a couple people in the audience and that was hilarious. At the end he asked the audience if they had questions and that was brief, but an sweet unexpected bonus. Overall, it was awesome; I hadn't laughed like that in a long time!
Demetri Martin is a favorite comedian of my boyfriend's. I bought him the tickets for his birthday, and the show was great. We both had a fantastic time laughing. I would definitely see one of his shows again. His act is great!
This was great - laughed very hard - extremly intelligent humor mixed with low brow humor. Thought it was great......
