Both comedians were hilarious! Didn't love that the show started 45 minutes late and we had to wait in line outside in the freezing cold while the people from the easier show took their sweet time leaving. I felt like the show was shorter than it should have been. Also, we couldn't see the drawings from our seats :(
Most excellent show from funny guy Demetri Martin. This was my second show at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre and I'm liking this venue more and more. Demetri Martin did a lot of new material, including an encore and is as witty as ever. He had me and the crowd laughing the whole time. Definitely worth seeing live. Opening act Levi MacDougall was also really funny and worth checking out. Overall an excellent evening! I highly recommend seeing Demetri live and I'll be there next time he is in town.
Dimitri can take something you thought was perfectly normal, anything, and reveal why it is hilarious. You missed something about every day life that was odd, how is this possible? If you're looking for an evening of intelligent humour from a comedian that delivers something new and refreshing, go see Dimitri. Rob in Hamilton
Mr. Martin was in good form as usual and had the audience in stitches. I particularly enjoyed the posters for a coffee shop and the drawings. More please!
The event was great! At one point, I couldn't stop smiling and my cheeks hurt! My fiancee said the same thing afterwards! The opening act (Levis something or other) was great as well, but you could tell that he was a little more green than Demetri, who was very comfortable on stage. His drawings and jokes with a guitar were great. He interacted with the audience, making fun of two people in the front row that showed up part way through. He also improvised, talking about the Canucks v. Bruins game when he had no idea about the big game earlier that day. He was great at making fun of himself, and was open about preparing for his next tv special. It was a great time!! Money and time well spent!
Love Demetri, he is crazy funny and his delivery is flawless. I really enjoyed the variety in his show, the jokes, the drawings, the guitar, the signs. Highly recommend it.
Very weak opening act that didn't really get the crowd going; however, once Demitri came out this wasn't a problem as he warmed us up quite well and it wasn't too long before we were erupting in laughter. His unique take on everyday observations is a fresh style of comedy that isn't to be missed. His act is punchy, filled with short stories and one-liners, designed to get you laughing and keep you laughing. Overall, great evening. Only cons were a few areas of "trial" material which turned out to be a bit weaker compared to the rest, but still an outstanding show nevertheless.
awesome, was in stitches the entire time. mr. opening act was funny too!
The night started out with a nice surprise - comedian Levi McDougall, probably best known for the Rogers commercials, was the opening act. He put on a great set and had everyone laughing. The night got even better when Demetri came out. He brought out the elements he often uses - standup, his flipchart, the guitar - but also improvised and interacted with the audience. Even when a joke didn't go well, he found ways to make it funny. I would definitely recommend this show to anyone.
Demetri is an amazing, natural comedian. Very witty, doesnt struggle to get laughs and doesn't rely on gross out humor as a fallback plan which is usually the situation with many other mainstream comedians. His intelligence shines through in his comedy and his one liners can't be beat. His unique style never ceases to amaze.
Had a great time! Demetri Martin is so funny, the place was packed and laughing the whole time. The show was quite long as well.
Demetri is an absolute gem. You would be a fool to miss his act. If you're thinking about seeing him and you're not sure if it's worth the price, I can tell you now- it is. He is very witty and loves to interact with the audience. Thanks Demetri for the laughs.
Dimitri Martin continues to be one of the funniest comedians currently out there. He has cemented his name in the folds of great funny men. The show was a unique blend of traditional standup, music, drawings and questions from the audience. If Dimitri is in your town... go see his show.
Demetri had a great opener(Levi MacDougall) and a wide range of his own comedy on stage. I was amazed at his ability to make jokes out of crowd interaction. It was great.
Demetri Martin's comedy act was absolutely hilarious! A fantastic night filled with laughter and wit, great venue!
