    Odd that you are bringing up Wright now, as I was trying to find out why I hadn’t heard of him in years just last week. One of my favorite comics. Apparently he has segued into some acting and producing, and I could find no mention of recent stand-up comedy. The fellow possesses a weird turn of the brain.
