On March 18th, the Gramercy Theatre in New York will be playing host to a performance from acclaimed stand-up comic Demetri Martin.

The performer started out on the comedy circuit back in 2002 - and his act is characterised by surreal humour, intricate wordplay and observational humour based on everyday life.

He also makes extensive use of musical instruments bringing the likes of guitar, harmonica, piano, keyboard, glockenspiel, toy bells, ukulele, or tambourine onstage for his shows - and sometimes all at once.

Entry prices for the New York show start at just $39.75 plus booking fees - and visitors to the city who are looking for a place to stay would be well advised to consider booking rooms at the Millennium Broadway Hotel New York.

The accommodation is ideally situated a little under two miles away from the venue, so it is easy to get there and back.

Indeed, the journey should take just under ten minutes by driving - or it is easy enough to jump in a taxi.
