I had seen Steven Wright approx 12 years ago and thought he was hilarious. Not so much this time, but part of the issue was that I couldn't hear 50% of what he said since the sound was so bad at the Vic Theater. We were sitting toward the back so that could have been part of it. But Steven seems to mumble much more than he used to. It was disappointing.
When you walk into a comedy night starring the insane Steven Wright, be prepared for constant laughter. His quick one line statments of his life come at you fast and furious, they are filled with his unique outlook. You think you are watching someone who was just released from the looney bin, and all his observations appear to come from someone brain damaged. But don't let that stop you from seeing him. He speaks in a low key, and you have to listen closely as he does not let his voice go up and down, he keeps everything in one note. What might seem normal for you, is certainly not normal for Steven Wright as he see everything sideways. His two hour sets are compete with some of the funniest imaginations you cna imagine, and you are doubled over screaming at the footlights.
Wright is one of the greatest dead pan comics to come along in recent times. It's the kind of comedy that stimulates the grey matter. He definately chose a great venue for his show. The Fitzgerald Theater is such a great place to be entertained.
We enjoyed seeing Steve in person at last. We always enjoy seeing him in TV appearances, but this was our first chance to see him live. He was Great!
I believe Steven Wright is quite simply one of the most clever and unique comics of all time.
