Demetri Martin: Live (At the Time)

Entertainment: 4. Heart: 0.5. Mind: 1.5. Wholesome: 1.

Probably the best twisted, random, dry observationalist in the business.

Very clever stuff. Playing an instrument while telling jokes makes me cringe though.

I usually prefer comedians that have jokes that transition into each other, or stories that have an arc and jokes spread throughout. Martin has always had a style that focuses on several quick jokes that don't really connect, but here it seems to be more on display than normal. It makes the special on the whole kind of incoherent and the jokes don't stand out as well, but the ones that work, really work.

From the more underwhelming end of Martin's work, but still pretty hilarious at best.

The wind resistance-crackers joke is my absolute favorite joke of his which he points out is the only joke in his set that never does well but he keeps doing it because he likes it. Video review of his book 'This is a Book' https://youtu.be/igb5nxX9NLU

A funny, unique look at the world. Classic Demetri Martin on display.
