The second series of Demetri Martin’s hit show, Important Things with Demetri Martin  was recently broadcast on Comedy Central in the US.  The first series was broadcast in the UK on E4.  In this, Demetri showcases his distinctive comedic style, combining deadpan stand up with flipcharts, animations, music and sketches.  He first came to prominence on US television through regular appearances on The Daily Show in 2005 as the “Senior Youth Correspondent” where he hosted a spot called “Trendspotting” in which he reported on the latest fads in youth culture.  He returned as a regular on the show in 2007 with segments entitled “Professional Important News with Demetri Martin” and developed a strong cult following.

Demetri is also causing quite a stir in Hollywood, securing lead roles in several major releases.  He starred in Ang Lee’s new film, Taking Woodstock  playing Elliot Tiber, a closeted gay artist who leaves the city to return to help his parents run their motel in the summer of 1969.  Whilst there, he inadvertently sets in motion the epic generation-defining concert Woodstock.  This led to roles in Post Grad and also MoneyBall, performing alongside Brad Pitt.

Please note that Demetri is currently based in the States:
