Demetri Martin Martin, the prototypical good Greek boy, served as an altar boy at church and bused tables at the restaurant.

Martin was the first person on a Comedy Central special to do the three major forms of stand-up comedy, appearing as a standup comic, a prop comic (such as The Amazing Jonathan), and as a musical comic (such as Stephen Lynch). www.mlahanas.de /Greeks/NewArts/DemetriMartin.html   (474 words)

Demetri Martin...These Are Jokes (A Review) - from Jim and Lynnette's Fun Times Guide Demetri has written for NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien (a sketch writer, not a monologue writer), and performed on the show numerous times, as well as appeared on Late Show with David Letterman, Carson Daly, and numerous others.

Demetri's target audience is probably people who are a tad younger than me. Teenagers and 20-somethings will probably eat this stuff up. thefuntimesguide.com /2006/09/demetri_martin.php   (1344 words)
