Biographie

Attended Yale University and NYU School of Law on a full scholarship.

His father is a Greek Orthodox priest and his mom is a nutritionist. His parents also co-owned a Greek restaurant with his grandparents and uncle.

Demetri grew up on the Jersey Shore in Toms River, NJ.

He refers to his intelligent yet absurd style of humor as "nerd humor".

Favorite comedian is Steven Wright.

The comedians I liked were Bill Cosby and Steven Wright, like just always as a comedic actor. I always liked Gary Larson, who's really funny for a cartoonist, obviously.

Stand up is really fun because if I think of a joke or a funny idea, then I can just go and tell some people and if they laugh, they laugh right away.

Okay, so, when I was a kid, definitely the drawings and the illustration. Then I stopped in sixth grade or so. And then I started again when I was in my twenties. I really didn't progress since then, so the way I draw is the way I drew in sixth grade.

I thought I would, you know, go to college, get to law school, finish, and then get a job and work as a lawyer, but that proved to be not a good fit for me.

I love catching a snapshot of something that is just about to happen. Or maybe something that just happened, you know. But I like especially that just-before kind of feeling.
