'''''I Have a Pony''''' is the debut [comedy album](/source/comedy_album) by American [stand-up comedian](/source/Stand-up_comedy) [Steven Wright](/source/Steven_Wright), released in 1985. It was recorded at Wolfgang's in San Francisco and Park West in Chicago. ''I Have a Pony'' is 40 minutes long and consists entirely of Wright's typical style of [one-line joke](/source/one-line_joke)s.

Despite his ongoing career, it was his only album release for many years: "When I made that album, I noticed that the material on it became so well known that I couldn't really perform it anymore."<ref>{{cite web
