Dwight York

“I hope you like jokes,” may seem an absurd way for a comedian to begin a show, but those are the words Dwight York uses to introduce himself to his audience each night. Then the joke slinging begins, and never ends until he says “goodnight” a couple of hundred perfect one-liners later.

Dwight York has performed at many of the nation’s top comedy clubs and has appeared on the main stage at the Legendary Buffalo Chip Campground for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. He has also appeared at the Great American Comedy Festival and Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Twice he was a finalist in the San Francisco International Comedy Contest, and once finished 2nd place at the Laughlin Laugh Fest.

York has been a favorite guest on the nationally syndicated The Bob and Tom Show and was featured on their CD, You Guys Rock. His CD Belongs in Bar (Stand Up! Records) was rated a “top ten comedy release of the year” by the Serious Comedy Site.

Laffspin says “Dwight York, as inventive as he is suggestive, is what Steven Wright would be if Wright had Robert Schimmel’s blue streak, and that’s a compliment to all three master comics.”
