Product Description: This one-hour special recorded live at the Paramount Theater features the comic stylings of Demetri Martin dorktastic stand-up comedian and Daily Show correspondent.System Requirements:Running Time: 60 mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: NR UPC: 097368521742 Manufacturer No: 852174
Amazon.com: Most stand-up comedians stand around and tell jokes. In Demetri Martin's Comedy Central special Person., taped live at Austin's Paramount Theater, the sneaker-sporting performer draws, sings, plays instruments, and, yes, tells jokes. There are even a few animated interludes. So, you get more bang for your buck than just a guy, a stage, and a bevy of zingers. For those unfamiliar with his work, Martin's specialty is observational humor in the vein of Steven Wright, i.e. 'How fast does a zebra have to run before it looks grey?' and 'I saw a transvestite wearing a shirt that said Guess.' Some bits are laugh-out-loud funny, while others are more thought-provoking (aside from stints on The Daily Show and Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Martin is a former law school student). Topics include weird handshakes, heavy doors, and Hummer owners--you know, everyday stuff. The extras are in keeping with his down-to-earth persona. The commentary track includes the comedian, his mother, his grandmother, his sister, and his uncles (three of whom appear in the skit at the end). Suffice to say, his family isn't big on ego-stroking. 'Not for me,' his grandmother says, dismissing Martin's whimsical animations. The DVD also includes his installment of Comedy Central Presents, deleted scenes, and a glimpse at some early gigs. Throughout, there's a sprinkling of profanity, but Martin generally avoids sexist and/or mean-spirited material. Person. is for comedy fans who prefer indie pop to corporate rock. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Rating: - Extremely Funny
I love this stand up comedian. His humor is not always straight forward and sometimes you have to think about it. He is extremely talented and I love his charts.
Rating: - He's so cute
Demetri Martin is hilarious. The DVD is short, but worth the money. I'd pay between $15-20 for this comedy special. If you don't know anything about Demetri Martin he's all over youtube.com so check him out, But be careful because if you search too much you'll spoil the DVD.
Rating: - funny, different just like before, but now what?
I always liked Demetri Martin; I thought he's funny, different, and smart. Watching this show though didn't add much. Yes, I laughed the first 10 min, he was as funny as always, but then it was the point of "now what?"
The Jokes became predictable, and his sketches weren't as smart as before.
I hope he still has more to give and this is only a temporary pause.
Rating: - O so FuNny
A great comic genies (in his own little way)
A insights of the human interaction with others,
all want to say but never do, and things we think about but never talk about .
Rating: - Demetri Martin. Review.
Funny funny stuff.
I am a person who likes to laugh, and this did it for me.
If I were you, I would buy this DVD.
