This 58 seconds of Demetri Martin’s comic genius is a little gem

We remember enjoying Demetri Martin’s BBC telly special off the back of his Edinburgh Perrier award win back when it was still called the Perrier, and we’re shocked and appalled to discover it was 20 years ago.

While we attempt to recover from that revelation, enjoy this 58 seconds of the great man’s comic genius which has been going viral on Reddit (and got us thinking about him in the first place today).
