Steven Wright

    Steven Wright is an American comedian, actor, and writer, renowned for his distinctively lethargic voice and slow, deadpan delivery. He crafts ironic, philosophical, and often nonsensical jokes, paraprosdokians, and one-liners, frequently employing contrived situations. His humor probes the absurdities of everyday life and human existence through unexpected twists and paradoxical observations. Wright's unique cadence and offbeat perspective solidify his unmistakable place in stand-up comedy.

His thoughts come to him as birds flying through a small rectangle in the middle of his brain. Harold documents the meandering, surreal, often hilarious, and always thought-provoking stream-of-consciousness ruminations of the title character during a single day in class"--
