Demetri Martin to Perform at the "This Isn't Working" Benefit Party!

So we got the bad news (well, good news/bad news) that Christian Finnegan had booked a movie with Tom Lennon from Reno 911 and shooting begins, wouldn't you know it, on Monday, August 1st, the same night as our benefit. Now, we hear tell that Christian didn't immediately drop us...he tried to no avail to negotiate a different start time. For that, we thank him and we most certainly congratulate him on this great opportunity. However, we owe even bigger thanks to publicist extraordinaire Kambri Crews, who immediately secured us another outstanding (and internationally celebrated) comedian: Demetri Martin, five-time winner of Drink at Work's prestigious World's Most Handsome Comedian award.

So thanks Kambri and Demetri, and good luck Christian! And we'll see the rest of you on Monday...or else.

(By the way, the buzz is that some Original Orgy Shirts designed by Frank Marciuliano will be given away during the quiz show, so I'd get there early if I were you.)
