Known for his slow, monotone delivery of ironic but clever jokes and one-liners, this New York native is a man of many talents.
Wright began his comic career at the age of 23 and has appeared in movies, TV sitcoms like "Mad About You" and several hit HBO specials. His album "I Have a Pony" was nominated for a Grammy, and he was voted one of the top 50 comedians by The Comedian's Comedian, while ranking in the top 25 of Comedy Central's greatest stand up comedians of all time.
His success, says the New York Times, "rests on the simplest of foundations: one man on a stage, his face and voice devoid of expression, delivering a steady stream of surreal riffs on the inherent absurdity of the universe and the infinite slipperiness of language."

With memorable one-liners like "You can't have everything. Where would you put it?" and "I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize," you won't want to miss his latest round of fresh and funny bits.
Steven Wright will be at the Parker Playhouse in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Saturday November 3, 2012.
