Additional Information:
In his first book, This Is A Book, Demetri Martin introduced fans and readers to his unique brand of long-form humor writing. Now Demetri returns with an eclectic volume devoted entirely to his trademark one-liners and drawings, as well as short prose and poetry, leaving the longer-form material for his next hardcover. Like an indie stepchild of Gary Larson, and Jack Handey, POINT YOUR FACE AT THIS contains hundreds of drawings, jokes, and page-long bits, showcasing Martin's particular penchant for brevity and a sensibility all it's own-and will be a great gift book and a must-have for fans of the brainy, ambidextrous, comedian, palindromist (and author) Demetri Martin.

Trying to order tickets that Demetri Martin emailed us to order on March 6th for the April 1st shows in Chicago and the UP Comedy Club web site will let us put tickets in our basket but after entering credit card numbers the web site processes the order then says the show is sold out! When I called the club they said the show was sold out a month ago.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice if the talent would email his fans in advance of a month after tickets being sold out that he is touring so those of us who wait for his emails can buy tickets before they sell out.
He did. How do you think we all got tickets?
