Title: mitch hedberg
Post by: joey_rogo on Jul 13, 2006, 11:09 PM
Just wondering if there are any other mitch admirers out there. He is my fav comedian. I saw in an older thread that Jim quoted him during a show... the good old 'you dont have to be an athlete to drink gatorade' bit.

He seriously changed the way I do things. . . when I go out to eat and they ask for my name, I tell them 'Dufrane.'

His death was a serious shock for me. . .I was sad for a while.  :( I actually gave up some bad habits because of it. . . I wish he could know how much he means to me. :-/

I love Mitch Hedberg.
I have his CD & have played his clips over & over again thanks to youtube.
I'm pretty sure we had a thread once...
Along with Dave Chappelle he is def my fav comedian of recent years.
I wish he was still here & often wonder how great he would have become, real shame.

I was lucky enough to see him open for Dave Attell and Lewis Black. He blew them away.
