You’re in a room. On one side is Jack Dee with his grumpy deadpad repartee.

On the other is American deadpan absurdist Steven Wright.

Each is virtually unheard of outside their native territories, yet both are immensely funny.

They also have an obvious similarity in their delivery.

Of course Jack Dee is never going to say: “I planted some bird seed. A bird came up. Now I don’t know what to feed it.”

But then Steven Wright would never say: “I hate people who think its clever to take drugs. Like customs officers. Aren’t they a bunch of bastards!”

Very different styles, very similar delivery. Both hilarious.
