Steven Wright at Hill Auditorium
The most original, and arguably the funniest, comedian in America, Steven Wright, brings his rather skewed views of the world to Hill Auditorium on Saturday night at 9 p.m. for Parents Weekend. Wright is known for his deadpan delivery and unorthodox style of humor, with such insights as, "I went into a place to eat. It said 'Breakfast Anytime,' so I ordered French toast during the Renaissance." You may have seen Steven's instantly recognizable face before in such films as "Mixed Nuts," but you might not know that this multi-talented man was nominated for a Grammy in 1986 for his debut comedy album, or that he was honored with an Academy Award in 1989 for his short film. Nevertheless, run over to the nearest TicketMaster location and plop down $16 for tickets. You may wish to bring some Kleenex or an extra pair of pants, just in case you laugh a little too hard.
