Steven Wright: When the Leaves Blow Away

2006 comedy

Rating: 14/20

Plot: Deadpan comic Steven Wright delivers his one-liners and people laugh.

The live show footage is followed by a short written and directed by Wright called "One Soldier" which is pretty bewildering. It's a poetic look at mortality, both depressing and hilarious. Really cool stuff. I always enjoy seeing Wright, but so many of the jokes are things I've heard on his albums that I didn't find myself laughing much. That might have more to do with my crippling depression though. And I do prefer hearing him over seeing and hearing him for some reason.
