Demetri Martin in the movie 'Dean.' (CBS Films/TNS)

Tucson has been fortunate enough to get some talented touring comedians in 2017, including Tom Segura, Michael Ian Black and Maria Bamford.Β 

Now we can add Demetri Martin to the roster. Martin will perform at the Rialto Theatre with Chris Thayer at 8 p.m. this Friday.Β 

Martin, who will often provide quirky, onstage observances a la Steven Wright, recently wrote and directed the film, "Dean" about a man of middle age who has to deal with the loss of his mother. The scenario is not funny in the slightest, but does give insight into the breadth of Martin's talents.Β 

More information on his appearance can be found on the Rialto website.Β
