'Dr Earnest Parrot Presents Demetri Martin'

'Dr Earnest Presents' is Demetri's 2006 one-man-show for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and was also turned into a stage show which came to Melbourne, Australia. He describes it as a "high conecpt and trippy show ... [it] is more in keeping with he first two shows I did, 'If I' and 'Spiral Bound'." (1) The show is based around his psychiatrist (fictional) 'Dr Earnest Parrot' and is set as a therapy session aiming to make him less detatched. The show incorporated charts, a projector, song and shadow puppets.


Watch a short, poor quality video of 'Dr Earnest Presents'
(NOTE: poor quality 1 minute video, with limited visibility, but you get to see a part of his beloved dance scene. (pretty sweet moves)
