[edit] If I

The series talks about his early life and if someone wrote it up it would sum it up nicely. Youtube link: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fjlkfl9i-lA&feature=related —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moshkin (talk • contribs) 22:01, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvio

I just removed a pargraph on Demetri's background that was copied and pasted from this article. If someone wants to rewrite info from that article into this wiki article, that would be cool. - Maximusveritas 09:43, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2006

Updated with details of Martin's 2006 show at the Fringe, and changed "Edinburgh Fringe" to "Edinburgh Festival Fringe" (both correct, but proper title as corrected). --82.41.74.129 21:04, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Conan appearance 10/10/06

Deleted this, as there's nothing special about this appearance - Martin has guested at least three times before. Earbox 03:53, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comedy Central Innovation

Well, stand-up and prop comedy both have wikipedia articles which leads to me believe that the division does exist. But if you can't find a source saying that Martin pulled off the hattrick as described, then please remove the paragraph.Amo 14:17, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I'll cite it to his specials. He clearly uses all three in both of his Comedy Central specials. The core of his act in the special is traditional stand-up, but he also plays various instruments to accompany certain jokes, and he uses props such as sketches to act as the punchlines for several jokes in one of his bits. As a side note, to repeat what another editor said in an edit summary a while ago, you shouldn't have to cite what is self-evident. Thanks, Dan Slotman 16:04, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stolen jokes

Someone recently added the following allegation to this article. If it is true, it must be cited, because accusations of stealing someone else's material are very serious in stand-up circles. Until a reliable citation is produced, this should be excluded from the article. It also didn't belong in the career section. Demetri stole his "My computer beat me in chess, but was no match for me in kickboxing" joke from Emo Philips. Thanks, Dan Slotman 16:38, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

He's stolen a few jokes from Mitch Hedburg. Watching a few performances by both makes it pretty clear. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.32.42.41 (talk) 05:35, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

He has a similar delivery to Mitch Hedberg, but pretty different content. I'm pretty familiar with both of their acts, and there's no theft that I've seen.68.22.243.145 (talk) 00:01, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] divorced????
