Steven Wright - I Have A Pony [4/21]

Artist:

Wright, Steven

Description:

While Steven Wright became an icon of 1980s comedy for his ultra-dryly-delivered, absurd one-liners, for almost three decades of standup, 1985`s I HAVE A PONY was the only full-length recording of his unique comic stylings. However, I HAVE A PONY is a jam-packed sample of one of irony`s greatest advocates since Steve Martin`s heyday. From wry observations like "I`m not afraid of heights, I`m afraid of widths" to bizarre linguistical twists like "do you live around here often," Wright`s routines rarely build past one layer, but the scattershot effect he unleashes is like few others in the comedy game.
