CHICAGO – 2013 was another great year for Demetri Martin. The dry comedian released a new book, “Point Your Face at This” and co-starred in a well received independent film, “In a World…” Martin made an appearance in Chicago at the Barnes & Noble DePaul Center Loop store in April, and HollywoodChicago.com got the Exclusive Portrait.

Demetri Martin is a well-known comedian, writer and performer. Combining a wry and ironic post modern sense of humor, Martin has applied his skill to TV on “The Daily Show” and his own “Important Things with Demetri Martin,” and films – he had the featured role in “Taking Woodstock,” directed by Ang Lee. “Point Your Face at This” is his second book.
