For Demetri, the work still feels the same on the west coast, as for his show, guest appearances include Fred Willard and Alan Dale from Lost.  Martin admits he has never seen an episode. 

Instead, you will find him tuning in to HGTV.  He reflects, “There is something very simple about the programming that doesn’t seem too tied to the real world.  So I get to watch people and images but I don’t have to know too much about news or politics.  It’s kind of irresponsible, but it’s really relaxing.”

In addition to working on his show, Demetri is hard at work with his script “Will,”  getting it ready for the big screen.  Paul Rudd and Zach Galifianakis are set to star in the feature with direction from Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris.

As for an appearance from Martin, “I had the idea for that movie about a decade ago.  I always thought I’d be in it [but] so far I’m not famous enough to be in my movie.”

The question remains if Martin will return to stand-up. Right now, other projects, including a book of essays and drawings, keep him off the stage.  To read more about Demetri, his  life after Conan O’Brien, and his future comedic successes, check out his full interview.

Martin performed at the 2007 Bonnaroo alongside other comedy star favorites such as Dave Attell and Flight of the Conchords. Like Martin, both of these acts have gained in popularity since then.

Martin is very busy with his latest projects, namely the Comedy Central show “Important Things with Demetri Martin,” and his upcoming movie, Taking Woodstock.

The movie is based on a book (of the same name) about the true story of Elliott Tiber (Demetri Martin), an aspiring designer in Greenwich Village, whose parents owned the only hotel in the town of Bethel, NY when Woodstock debuted in 1969.

If you prefer to see your action live, then go see Demetri do his stand up in person. He’s managed to find time to schedule 4 shows in April - 2 at the Wilbur Theater in Boston, and 2 at the Warner Theater in Washington, DC.

Martin is also trying his hand at acting. He plays the lead role in the upcoming Ang Lee movie Taking Woodstock, which comes out this summer. And if that’s just dipping his toe into cinema, he follows up by jumping right into the deep end by writing and co-writing a couple scripts for future features.
