TAMPA — Comedian Demetri Martin will take the stage on Saturday, April 11, 8 p.m., in Ferguson Hall, at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts, 1010 N. W.C. MacInnes Place, Tampa.
Tickets start at $49.40. Visit strazcenter.org.
Martin may be best known for his stand-up work, but he’s also a screenwriter, a director, and an actor; an essayist and a cartoonist. He often incorporates music and drawing into his stand-up, and his humor is some of the best of the offbeat variety since Steven Wright.
Martin rose to relative obscurity doing stand-up comedy. He was a writer for “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” a regular performer on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” and starred in his own television series, “Important Things with Demetri Martin.” Martin has appeared in many films including Ang Lee’s “Taking Woodstock.” His books, “This Is a Book” and “Point Your Face At This” were both New York Times bestsellers.
