R.I.P. Mitch Hedberg

I just found out my favorite stand-up comic died on Thursday night. Mitch's stand up was probably rated PG-13 so its not for everyone, but if you don't mind a few swear words this guy was the funniest comedian I have ever heard, do yourself a favor and check him out.

Yeah, I heard that on Friday! He was me and my husbands absolute favorite comic. I am so glad we were lucky enough to see him in person. I think he was going to be able to do great things, he was so unique. Definitely a life cut short and he will be missed.

*sniff* him and Steven lynch were on tour together and I'm bummed I never got to go see it. He was a comedy genious, and will definitely be missed.

"I haven't slept for ten days, because that would be too long."

"And then at the end of the letter i like to write P.S.- This is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated."

"I was at this casino minding my own business and this guy came up to me and said your gonna have to move you're blocking a fire exit. As if there were a fire, I wasn't gonna run. If you are flamable and have legs you are never blocking a fire exit."

"One time a guy handed me a picture of himself and he said. "Here's a picture of me when I was younger." Every picture of you is when you were younger. Here's a picture of me when I'm older. How'd you pull that off? Let me see that camera."

And my personal favorite, "When you go a resturant on the weekends and it's busy so they start a waiting list. They say Dufrane, party of two, table ready for Dufrane, party of two , and if no one answers they'll say the name again, Dufrane, party of two. Bu then if no one answers, they'll move on to the next name. Bush party of three. Yeah, but what happened to the Dufranes, No one seems to care, who can eat at a time like this? People are missing. You people are selfish. The Dufranes are in someone's trunk right now ,with duct tape over their mouths and they're hungry.That's a double whammy! We need help! Bush search party of three. You can eat once you find the Dufranes."

many more

Those were two of my favorites from Mitch, unfortunately I never got to see him perform in person. I agree that I think was headed for big things, he'll be missed.

Comedy has gone downhill ever since Sam Kinison died..they are dropping like flies.

:bow: Man, I loved his comedy. :bow: My mom thinks I'm evil, though, because I am more grieved over his death than the Pope's. :devil:

[IndyJn511]

Yea, he was great. I like him because he just stood up there and told jokes. None of that overdone stroytelling stuff. And his delivery was magic! Rest in peace, my friend... rest in peace.

Re: R.I.P. Mitch Hedberg

There was a nice article about him in Entertainment Weekly. I Don't recall which issue, but it was within the last month or so. Nice interview with his wife about him and their last days.
