Demetri Martin is a comedian who operates in a format largely his own — standup combined with drawings, musical elements, and a deadpan visual sensibility that makes his shows something closer to a one-man multimedia performance than a conventional comedy set. He was a correspondent on “The Daily Show,” created and starred in Comedy Central’s “Important Things with Demetri Martin,” and has released several well-regarded specials. The Quick Draw Tour leans into the visual art component of his act.
About the Show
Martin’s comedy rewards attention — the jokes are constructed around visual gags and wordplay that work on multiple levels simultaneously. The Egg’s main hall, with clear sightlines from most seats, is a good room for a show that includes visual elements alongside the standup. For Albany audiences who follow comedy that doesn’t fit neatly into the standard format, this is the summer’s most distinctive booking at The Egg.
About The Egg
The Egg is located in the Empire State Plaza in downtown Albany. June evenings in Albany make for easy pre-show dining in the neighborhood. Plaza garage parking is available as usual.
