      Steven Wright is even more deadpan in his delivery of those sly, and wry, observations. Got famous in the '80s, much more than most comics. But, his delivery is much flatter. Mitch has/had a much more playful delivery, comparatively.
      First heard Mitch and thought: Oh, he's like Steven Wright. But, Mitch's fun nature won me over and I can watch tons of clips of Mitch vs getting a bit bored with Steven. [Not to slag on Steven. It's just my preference. I mean: Steven's got some classics, too. The way he delivers: "Why do we drive on a parkway, but park on a driveway?"]

    Listen to the crowd, at the start they don’t know what to do with Mitch’s humour. Mid point they start to realise he’s actually good. By the end they come to understand they’re in the presence of greatness.

      Belt loops was tops. And "used to do drugs". And "every photo of you is when you were younger". Actually, probably most of his jokes.

    Pure brilliance. Throwing out quick one-liners can be risky when some of them don't work ... not for Mitch. He manages to make it funny somehow. The Dr. Scholls joke is one of his best.
