I like Demetri Martin very much indeed but he hasn't been on TV here for at least five years. If you know about him, I'm guessing he's forging a career for himself back in America.
Kind of a shame (for us) because his humour works very well in Britain. I saw him live at the Edinburgh fringe one year and he was astonishingly good. And I mean *astonishingly* good. Actually, come to think of it, he won the Perrier Award that year. This is a big deal indeed. Other winners are Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Sean Hughes, Dylan Moran, Rich Hall (another American). And people like Noel Fielding, Eddie Izzard, Johnny Vegas, Lee Mack, Sean Lock, and Reginald D. Hunter were only ever nominees and not winners. That kind of shows how highly the British think of Demetri Martin. Can you send him back over here? We miss him.
Who is a better comedian, Louis CK or Bill Burr?
