Not quite knowing what to expect from last year’s Perrier winner, Demetri took me completely off guard with a show that’s not only very funny, but also incredibly warm and emotional. Demetri tells the story of how one day he becomes trapped inside his precious notebook.
Walking through the pages, he recalls events and feelings from his past acting out scenes and explaining his feelings at that moment. Demetri admits that the premise for his comedy can be contrived and far fetched, but who cares how far fetched his story is when it’s as heartfelt, smart and subtle as one would expect from a Perrier winner.
This is a very clever show backed up with spot on wit, Demetri’s own guitar pieces playing all the way through and ends on a lovely sentiment that you‘ll ponder over late into the night. This is by far one of the best stand up pieces I have ever seen.
5/5
