I follow him since I have first listened one of the his stand up spceials, I think he has a very different kind of humor which is refreshing inside all of this new comedians just using same kind of humor, hard to find unique people now. the only think I am not sure about If I liked it or not is how dry his humor is, because I feel like some jokes would be better with some like kind of role playing but I guess not showing too much reaction also one of his trademarks and it actually makes the joke better at some situations, but it also felt like he wasn't feeling comfortable on stage so much but I hope he would get more comfortable on stage. I don't say he should act different but I felt he was feeling too much under pressure which some jokes made to look weird rather than funny, but getting more comfortable is something comes with time I guess. I also liked his jokes a lot it kinda reminds me Dylan Moran in the way he also uses different perspectives and creative materials to make jokes, so overall his jokes are creative and very interesting loved it.

Demetri shares his latest set of low-key yet surreal observations on life and language, including: signs, pets, the origin of cheese, hot dogs, footballs, tandem skydiving, hamster-chucking, fitted sheets, elevator faux pas, prune juice, the aerodynamics of crackers, the quantification of educated guesswork, the tribulations of salads, the unique rejective qualities of volleyball, the sneakiness of color schemes, the general uncoolness of indoor sports, the management of fart jokes, the happiness of folks and nope, abracadabra versus please, business versus beeswax, parent/child resemblances in the alphabet, shoe store mirrors, expiration dates, and the proper temperature of regards. Saw the show in Madison, Wisconsin a couple weeks before the special was taped. It is very interesting to see a tour before the special, to see what jokes get thrown out, which get improved, and what else may happen. Practically nothing in this special was new from what we saw, but the best part is that some of the weakest bits were cut out. This makes the final product a couple minutes shorter, but just as funny (or funnier) the second time hearing it. My only complaint (and I may be in the minority here) is I wish the few "adult" jokes were removed. Not that they are not good jokes, but it seems out of sync with the brand of humor Demetri has made himself known for. He excels at quirky observations and grammar / language jabs. Venturing into sex-themed territory is risky. He also seems to have begun wading in racial humor, but for some reason I find that okay...

What do you expect, for it to be bad? Its pretty good, i'd recommend. I love the cheese joke.

I never heard of Demetri Martin before so it was a discovery to me. Another reviewer, fan of Demetri Martin, wrote that this show was underwhelming, like he was not interested in bringing his jokes this time, and that's not what he was used to from Demetri. I can't judge that as it's my first show from him, but I'm very curious about his previous shows now as I thought this show was very entertaining, the jokes are simple but clever, and he brings them in a funny relaxed way, with the right amount of irony and sarcasm. Good interaction with the audience, it all worked perfectly if you ask for my opinion. Looking forward to watch more stand-up comedy from him.
