Matt Tobey
The Apiary has an interview with Steven Wright up today. Among other things, they discuss how his oft-imitated comedy style came into existence:
You've been credited with starting a style of comedy. Do you
think that someone's comedic style is just what comes naturally to a
comic?
I know that what I do is what comes naturally to me. In my early sets I
would have a straight face because I was scared of being onstage and I
was trying to remember my act so I was just concentrating seriously on
saying the material the right way. And when you do something serious,
that's just how you look. I was lucky that it ended up blending good
with the type of material and then it became a style. I don't walk out
and have to remind myself "Oh, don't laugh." I just try and do my act.

Man your too funny, I heard some of your act and I was dying, I looked around the room I was in, about 10 people or so maybe a third got it, and then I said do u people even have a pulse. I couldn't stop laughing I guess they were on mental pause till the end when it finally sunk in. But you are by far a great comedian and I would love to see you live sometime I live in Mass. too.
