Overview:

Important Things with Demetri Martin is a sketch comedy series starring, produced and written by comedian Demetri Martin. Each episode is based around a single theme ("Timing," "Power") with the sketches and jokes loosely built around the theme.

Each show begins with a few minutes of stand-up from Martin performed in front of a studio audience, then segues into pre-taped sketches. Each show also includes a segment where Martin does some of his trademark "easel" jokes and a musical performance.

Though Martin is the only credited cast member, the show has featured appearances by Amanda Peet, John Oliver and David Cross.

Important Things is produced by Jon Stewart's Busboy Productions.
