Appearances the stuff of comedy
I am all about Blue.
Sure, comedian Josh
Blue was here about a year
ago, but he's coming back,
and I'm OK with that.
He’ll be at the Punchline
Comedy Club on Friday
and Saturday nights. Bom
with cerebral palsy, the
“Last Comic Standing”
winner has turned the dis¬
ability into a constant
source of new and hysteri¬
cal material.
And in all the seasons of
“Last Comic Standing,"
he's one of the few I’ve
actually wanted to win
from the start.
But before Blue,
Punchline welcomes
Demetri Martin on
Monday.
Martin, to me, is hit or
miss. His stand-up is
funny, but his show
“Important Things with
Demetri Martm” on
Comedy Central, not so
much.
A New York University
law school drop-out,
Martin is a fascinating per¬
son He's dry and odd, as
evidenced by the fact that
he wrote and published a

My favorite Martin
moments are during inter¬
views. When he’s just
being himself, he shines
with his natural humor,
which is w hy his stand-up
is so strong.
When he's scripted, I’m
not so impressed.
Fortunately, he’ll be stick¬

The band first grabbed
me in high school w ith its
unique and strange videos.
They were freakish and
odd, yet captivating,
much like the concerts.
Given its lack of main¬
stream appeal, 1 was
shocked to learn the band
had won two Grammy
Awards for best metal
performance in 1997 and
in 2001.
Then again, for their
niche market, these guys
are really good at what
they do.

They also wait forever,
in musical terms, to
release albums. A new
album takes anywhere
from three to five years
for them.
That’s a long time in a
world where you need to
come out with new materi¬
al practically every year to
stay relevant.
Still, it seems to work
for Tool. Maybe it helps
keep the band closer by
giving them more down
