"Steven Wright"Steven Wright: I Have a Pony is a comedy classic and will be forever. You will not hear a comedian like this on any other recording, combining the zany wordplay of early Woody Allen with the bizarre hilarity of Far Side cartoons. Check out I Have a Pony and guarantee yourself hours of laughter and joy from a truly unique stand up comic.
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 heard Steven Wright nearly ten years ago and laughed hysterically then. Now, a decade later, the material is still as relevant and funny as ever. One of the keys 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?" And with the exception of a few sexual references (nothing explicit) - the material is very clean. 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 and I can't help but give you some samples of Steven Wright's insane brand of humor. "Rachel got poison ivy on her brain. The only way she can scratch it is to think about sandpaper." "I bought some batteries, but they weren't included." "I parked in a tow-away zone, and when I got back the entire area was gone." "I lost a buttonhole." "Right now I'm having amnesia and deja-vu at the same time." "I have an enormous sea-shell collection. I keep it scattered on beaches all over the world. Perhaps you've seen it." "I want to get a tattoo over my entire body of myself, only an inch taller." "But the sign says 'Open 24 Hours.'" "Not in a row."
"You know when you're leaning back in a chair and then you lean way back and you're just on two legs and then you lean just a little far and you almost fall but at the last minute you catch yourself? I feel like that all the time."
