Product Description

Product Description

Two disc (CD/DVD) edition of the classic, long unavailable 1985 album from comedian Steven Wright, now coupled with his legendary HBO special from the following year. Steven Wright, the Confucius of Comedy, recorded his first album, I Have A Pony, in 1985. That Grammy-nominated album, along with an HBO special the following year, established Wright as one of the most inventive, peculiar and admired comedians of our era. Surreal and cerebral, his languid voice and deadpan delivery of ironic, witty and sometimes even deeply philosophical one-liners made him a unique and unforgettable performer.

5.0 out of 5 stars It doesn't get much funnier than this! Dec 30 2003
Format:Audio CD
Is it the voice or the content of the jokes? Either way, this is one hillarious CD. The deadpan nature of his delivery turns incredibly simple jokes into some of the most fresh and funny material you'll ever hear.

I first bought the tape nearly ten years ago, and laughed hysterically then. Now, a decade later, the material is still as relevant and funny as ever. The key to good comedy is making the material relevant to the audience, by discussing subject matter to which everyone can relate. Steven Wright finds a way to do this with some of the the most outlandish subject matter you'll ever hear, (ie. elevators in the middle of the desert, poison ivy of the brain, a pony in his apartment) - all the while making you think "It's so simple - why didn't I think of that?"

With the exception of a few sexual references (nothing explicit) - the material is very clean. No swearing at all!

This is not the kind of comedy CD you'll listen to once, then put aside and forget about. There are so many jokes, you could never remember all of them - so every listen is almost like the first. This CD is well worth the purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars The funniest stand up comedian there is May 4 2003
Format:Audio CD
This has to be the funniest stand up comedy album ever made. Steven Wright speaks in a slow sort of retarded sounding style which fits his comedy extremely well. The track listing on the back says all songs written by Steven Wright but don't worry there's no cheap attempt to launch a signing career here all the tracks are him speaking stand up.

This album is full of hilarious stuff I don't really want to give anything away for future listeners but this album is very funny. Yesterday I......no that wasn't me! is one small example but I don't want to wreck the experience for anyone else. Steven Wright covers a vast range of topics from girlfriends, hitchhiking, his diary he kept as a baby, parking to pretty much every part of day to day life.

Parents note this is clean comedy, there is no swearing on this album at all so all ages can enjoy the magic of Steven Wright. This album is usually pretty cheap but worth full price. Definitely the best stand up comedian I've ever heard. He's the "Weird Al" of the stand up world. Buy this album.

4.0 out of 5 stars classic stand-up comedy
This is a re-issue of an album that was originally released on vinyl. This time around you get a CD containing the same material as the LP (I am guessing), and a DVD. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars "I'm feeling kinda hyper tonight"
Steven Wright is very mellow. He hardly ever does any kind of physical comedy ever. He's just a joke-teller. Read more

Steven Wright is very, very funny. His is humor of the absurd. Those who don't "get" it may have lost their ability to see things in a fresh way. Read more
