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.
