About Demetri Martin
Demetri Martin is one of those comedians who makes smart comedy look effortless. His stand-up blends one-liners, drawings, musical bits, and deadpan observations into a set that’s unlike anyone else working today. You might know him from his Comedy Central show Important Things with Demetri Martin, his Netflix specials, or his recurring ability to make a flip chart funnier than it has any right to be. The Quick Draw Tour leans into his signature style — visual comedy, wordplay, and the kind of quiet intelligence that rewards close attention.
If you want to catch up on his work, Demetri Martin’s specials and books on Amazon are a solid preview.
The Venue
The Egg is one of the most architecturally distinctive venues in the Northeast — an egg-shaped performing arts center perched on Albany’s Empire State Plaza. The acoustics are exceptional, every seat feels close, and the overall atmosphere is perfect for comedy. You can hear a whispered punchline from the back row, which is exactly what Demetri Martin’s material requires. Parking in the Empire State Plaza garage is free on weekends.
