The McCallum Theatre announced two new shows Wednesday that will join its fall roster.

Stand-up comedian, writer and director Demetri Martin is set to perform Oct. 14, while the Disney Pixar film "Coco" will be performed with live musical accompaniment on Nov. 14, according to theater spokesman Jeffrey Norman.

"We are delighted to add these two new performances to what is already shaping up to be a terrific season," McCallum President, CEO and Artistic Director Mitch Gershenfeld said in a statement.

"Both of these shows have broad appeal and we look forward to welcoming their fans to the McCallum," he added.

Martin has released three stand-up albums, four hour-long comedy specials, created a television series for Comedy Central and written two New York Times bestsellers. He also has won awards for his one-man show "If I" atthe Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and for "Dr. Earnest Parrot Presents Demetri Martin" at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

"Coco in Concert" will feature a screening of the film with Oscar-and Grammy-winning composer Michael Giacchino's musical score performed by a 20-member Orquesta Folclorico Nacional De Mexico, theater officials said.

Tickets for the newly added shows start at $35, and will be available at mccallumtheatre.org starting at 10 a.m. Friday.
