"Confucius of Comedy" Steven Wright coming to The Orleans Showroom!

Billed as the “Confucius of Comedy” by the New York Post, Academy Award winner and Grammy nominee Steven Wright brings his trademark wit, absurdist one-liners and monotone voice to The Orleans Showroom, April 10 and 11.

His new kind of comedy and lackluster voice caught the comedy world’s attention and he appeared on Saturday Night Live, Late Night with David Letterman and many reoccurring appearances of The Tonight Show. As his fame grew, he was given two of his own HBO stand-up specials titled, A Steven Wright Special and Wicker Chairs and Gravity.

His career expanded far beyond small screen appearances to include comedy albums, television specials and acting roles and writing for the silver screen. In 1985, Wright received a Grammy nomination for his debut album, I Have a Pony, and one for its sequel, I Still Have a Pony 22 years later. Following his second nomination, he was named the first inductee into The Boston Comedy Hall of Fame. In 1989, he received an Academy Award for Best Short Film for his satiric film, The Appointments of Dennis Jennings, which he co-starred and wrote.

Wright’s ironic, deadpan comedy and bizarre observations continue to earn him regular guest spots on the late night talk show circuit with David Letterman, Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel and Craig Ferguson while spreading laughs, giggles and smiles while touring the U.S., Canada and overseas.

Tickets are now available starting from $29.95, plus tax. Showtime is 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Box Office at 702.365.7075 or visiting www.orleanscasino.com.

Do you have some love to spare? Look at these fur babies!!

Nice to meet you! We are Jasmine & Princess. We’re female Bichon Frises, 11 – 12 years old.

Jasmine & Princess have been inseparable for the past 13 years. They are very sweet, well-mannered companions seeking a loving home. They love curling up with each other when sleeping or just relaxing throughout the day. They keep each other company when left alone, so they never feel lonely. Princess, who is the runt of the litter, is playful and outgoing while Jasmine is more reserved yet both adore attention.

They need regular grooming; both girls enjoy the trip to the groomer, making it a pleasant experience for all. They are not fond of cats and have been strictly indoor dogs. The girls are spayed and current on their vaccinations.
