Academy Award-winning, Emmy- and Grammy-nominated comedian Steven Wright continually sells out theaters internationally with his skewed comedic view of the world. Since his debut on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson," which prompted Wright to be invited back to perform again within a week, the deadpan surrealist master has pushed the comedic boundaries in film, television, and the live stage. 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.
