I saw him in Chicago in the late '80s. About 2 minutes in he said "I just remembered I'm not supposed to talk to strangers" and walked off stage. For the next few seconds he kept poking his head out from behind the curtain. I never heard an audience laugh so hard.

I performed at an open mic at a Boston comedy club in the 80's with Lenny Clarke, Steve Sweeney & Kevin Meaney. The MC was Jimmie Tingle. Real high caliber comedians all. Out walks Steven Wright real mopey & says "I'm so tired that I probably should have stayed home tonight. I spent most of the day putting in a skylight at my place..... The lady who lives upstairs is really pissed off." He just killed the whole room!!

Wright, in order to pay respect to his particular sideways brand of humorous anecdote, then my friend, You need to make a profound choice here. Now, is better than later. One which will shape things to come for you. Either you study advanced comic logistics and learn to "get it" and laugh. Or decide you lack the requisite mental, and emotional acumen to appreciate jocular nuance, and learn to cope with psychopathy - properly deployed - That's fine. Or You learn to cope with disappointment, cowardice, and beaten down BITCHHOOD, desperately grasping for those things you believe you are entitled to. Which "Some OTHER "A" hole is steadily blocking you from acquiring. Laugh or be laughed at. The life of the FOOL... NOTE:~ (Now please, believe me I DO NOT wish this upon you or anyone, I'd like to think you will CHOOSE the first option.

Before that the talk shows got all their comedians from New York or LA, they didn't check other cities. The booker heard about this comic in Boston named Lenny Clarke and flew to see him. Steven was on the same bill and ended up getting picked for the show first. Gradually all the other comics got picked up by the shows and Boston quickly became the place to go for comedy.

My personal favorite: I accidently sprayed spot remover on my dog and he disappeared.... You know a guy is funny when all he says is "I went skiing in England" and the crowd laughs ... not because that is a funny line, but just the anticipation of knowing that whatever comes out of his mouth next WILL be some extremely funny/witty line that makes you think 'why didn't I ever think of that'

"I went skiing in England" is a pretty funny line. England is not known for its mountains - if you're going to fly overseas to Europe to ski, why not go to the alps?

You'd have to be able to get dry humor to enjoy Steven Wright. It isn't for everybody. People who enjoy the type of humor like in Airplane and the Naked Gun movies would get him. Regardless if someone finds him funny or not, he's done well enough to make a living, and live comfortably. And that's all I really matters.

The reason the last one is funny is because up until he says "I remember you" the ex-con is stating his M.O. with increasing similarity to their current situation.....BUT since he remembers him he is no longer a "total stranger" and therefore wouldn't fit the guys M.O. so he is now safe.
