Demetri Martin brings his unique comic style to the intimate Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theatre on Friday August 20th at 8PM.
Demetri Martin is not your average standup comedian. In the style of contemporaries like Eugene Mirman and Zach Galifianakis, Martin stretches his boundaries into something resembling a form of Borscht Belt performance art, as if Laurie Anderson’s primary influences had been Steven Wright and Peter Sellers. Incorporating musical instruments, props, and video into his otherwise standard act, Martin’s primary on-stage persona is that of a naïve youngster reminiscent of ’80s cult comic Emo Phillips, but not nearly so deliberately annoying. After his one-man show If I… won an award at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival, one of the world’s best showcases for alternative comedians, Martin spent a period on the writing staff at Late Night with Conan O’Brien while preparing his first TV comedy special. That special, Comedy Central Presents: Demetri Martin, featured acting roles by Martin’s mother and grandmother.
