Tonight on Comedy Central: "Demetri Martin: Standup Comedian"

[BillBrasky]

Demetri Martin returns to Comedy Central to tell jokes while standing up in the world premiere of his original one-hour stand-up special, “Demetri Martin. Standup Comedian.” premiering tonight at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.

Filmed at the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts in New York City, Martin’s second hour-long special showcases what fans love about his style – sharp one-liners and hilarious observations about our language, culture and everyday existence, bolstered by his signature illustrations, diagrams and drawings. With his easel and guitar in tow, Martin brings his unique perspective to topics large and small – from the uselessness of silent letters to why it is, exactly, that we suspect dead people are “spinning in their graves".

The “Demetri Martin. Standup Comedian.” extended and uncensored DVD will be released by Comedy Central Home Entertainment on October 2nd. The DVD includes over 15 minutes of material not seen in the broadcast, plus a selection of bonus features that include audio commentary, commentary on the audio commentary, an art slide show of rejected concepts, and joke variations.

Also on October 2nd, Comedy Central Records will release the extended and uncensored “Demetri Martin. Standup Comedian.” CD. The CD was recorded separately with additional audio-friendly material.

The special also will be available on October 2nd in HD on iTunes, Zune Video Marketplace on Xbox, Sony PlayStation Network, Amazon Instant Video, and Vudu.

I really liked the Jesus graph and the closing song.

Just listened to the CD. Favorite bit was the strobe light one. Wish I'd thought of that.
