dawson Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 I had never heard of this man,before my husband (he with the warped sence oh humour)bought tickets for his recent Perth show. For two hours I laughed so much my sides ached. See this fantastic comedian if you get chance mind you may not be everyones cup of tea. Im going to see Ross noble next week another very funny amn.

Jerry Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Steven Wright has been popular for many years - began in Boston, a university town, and his humour is extremely cerebral and unique. Word games and logic games. I can't think of any of his 'jokes' because he doesn't tell jokes - he makes observations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Debs, Steve the Original came to our rescue with a terrific list of Steven Wright's observations. Maybe you got a few more laughs from it, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve the Original Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Jerry Have you heard of Chubby Brown?? a bit blue but also very funny if you dont mind the swearing and cussing!!! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted May 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 I have seen both these comics live and must admit found them both very funny. Different humour of course. Chubby is very well I felt bad for laughing at his very well if you have heard of him you know his humour. Ross Noble is also a very good comedian. But yes Jerry had a laugh at sSteve's post. Did you know Steven Wright won an Oscar in the past for a short film I believe but can not swear to it. Debs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 No, don't know Chubby Brown or others that have been mentioned. Dave Chappelle was the hottest thing this year on cable TV's Comedy Central, also very, very, bad (according to white folks taste) funny, but he has some charisma that over-rides his bad taste. The news here is that he's fled to SOUTH AFRICA for some reason, rather than collect $50 million in cable TV money to produce more comedy shows. Blue humor is often not effective unless it's perceived as -- yeah, that's true isn't it? Just cheap shots at easy targets is too often the goal of blue comics.

Mary Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Here is a collection of Steve Wright's work: Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country. Everywhere is walking distance, if you have the time. For my sister's 40th birthday, I sent her a singing mammogram. I can levitate birds. No one cares. I had to stop driving my car for a while - - the tires got dizzy. I like to skate on the other side of the ice. Last week I forgot how to ride a bicycle. I put hardwood floors on top of wall-to-wall carpet. I try to daydream, but my mind keeps wandering. It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to have to paint it. There aren't enough days in the weekend. What exactly do batteries run on ? When George Washington was asked for ID, did he whip out a quarter ? If you filled a humidifier with wax, would it shine the room ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 I have the world's largest collection of seashells. I keep them on all the beaches in the world. Perhaps you've seen them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
