Description: Dry, wry and hilariously deadpan, Steven Wright unleashes a torrent of ironic and hysterical thought-provoking one-liners in the quirky stand-up style that has become his trademark. From Toronto's historic Elgin Theater, this Oscar-winning comedian -- #23 on Comedy Central's list of the 100 greatest stand-up performers of all time -- keeps an adoring audience in stitches with random observations on everything from baby monitors as a form of wiretapping to his addiction to placebos. The party continues with a Boston Comedy Club performance from the comic's early career, and Steven explores the meaning of life in his short film One Soldier, which he also wrote and directed.

An amazing performance to watch. It's great to see a comic who still takes pride in his craft. I believe this is the same exact performance as the I Still Have A Pony CD. Also includes a short film which might ... Read More

My husband and I did not enjoy this particular comedy skit as much as we have enjoyed other Steven Wright pieces. The ending video was very dark and serious: not what we were intending to view within a "comedy".
