Comedian Steven Wright To Play The Davidson
by Stephi Wild - Apr 4, 2018

With an Oscar-winning short film, a 2014 Emmy nomination as a producer on the hit FX series "Louie," two Grammy-nominated CD's, three critically acclaimed one-hour specials, and countless appearances on TV and in film, Wright is a prototype comedian that others continually try to follow.
