Demetri Martin

Demetri Martin is exactly the kind of comedian I gravitate toward. A Yale graduate who chose deadpan stand-up, guitar-backed one-liners, and hand-drawn satirical cartoons over anything self-serious, he wears his intelligence lightly, which I find genuinely classy. His run as Senior Youth Correspondent on The Daily Show, plus work as writer, director, composer, and cartoonist, could easily scatter into dilettantism, yet a consistent dry sensibility holds it all together, and the Writers Guild of America Award feels earned. He is quietly sharp rather than loud, and that restraint is precisely what makes his voice stick with me.
