DWIGHT YORK
	Comedian Dwight York’s act has always been smart, funny and to the point. It was February 1989 when he took the stage for the first time. And from that very first open mic set, York established what was to become his trademark style: clever, concise, non sequitur, impeccably timed setup/punchline type jokes. These finely crafted jokes, blended together with his quirky stage persona and his unique style of delivery, quickly established him as one of Minneapolis’s hottest young comics. Within two years he began working regularly as a “feature act” at the (then hottest) Twin Cities comedy club chain, The Comedy Gallery. York is a regular guest on the nationally syndicated radio program, The Bob and Tom Show. His first appearance was a tremendous hit. His joke, “I was homeless for awhile – I didn’t want anyone to know so I slept in front of a Ticket Master,” became Tom Griswold’s “new favorite joke,” was replayed over and over and landed him a spot on the Bob and Tom CD: You Guys Rock. Since then York has been a member of the Friends of the Bob and Tom Show Tour.
	Dwight York "Quickies" CD Like a slug of Jack Daniels after one too many Appletinis, Dwight York’s “Quickies” is a palate-cleansing dose of pure, distilled comedy. York skips the meandering and navel-gazing that too often passes for stand-up, instead breathing fresh life into the good old-fashioned one-liner. As he puts it, “I hope you like jokes, because here we go!” Thanks to this stage veteran’s well-honed act and aww-shucks delivery, York’s generally “adult” material feels quick-witted rather than rapid-fire. He elegantly weaves classic call-backs throughout, tying each seemingly standalone gem into a coherent and ludicrous whole. With occasional nods to a (perhaps mythical) seeing-eye dog and the memory-dulling effects of certain recreational substances, he peppers his set with enough recurring themes to provide surprise bonus-laughs, even in the midst of his punchline marathon. York’s comedy brings to mind a number of famous comedians – the dry wit of Steven Wright, the drug humor of Mitch Hedberg, and the filthy but endearing wordplay of George Carlin all seem to make appearances – but, in the end, stands as its own uniquely funny voice. It just happens to be a voice giving you ideas on how to creatively use chewing gum to encourage your lady to try out a Brazilian wax. The author of The Vile File, a collection of jokes even this raunchy headliner saw as too depraved for the stage, York’s catching on as a raw new outlaw of comedy.
