Wright This Way
Mark at Witnit has posted (I think) every joke that Steven Wright ever told.
I remember being on a flight from Chicago to Hartford back in the mid-80's. One of the audio selections available was a Wright concert. I could tell that practically the entire plane was listening to it because of the laughter that erupted in all parts of the cabin at exactly the same moments.
Is Wright still performing? It seems to me I haven't heard anything about him in quite some time.

He also gets the occasional film role and TV guest appearance.
