"I used to take drugs. I still do, but I used to too." -- Mitch Hedberg, 2/24/68 - 3/29/05
I was instantly blown away when I first discovered Mitch Hedberg. It was on a late night repeat of his half hour Comedy Central stand-up special 'Mitch All Together'. His jokes were so perfectly crafted to fit his relaxed delivery and shy, yet very controlled and brilliantly paced stage presence. Mitch pulled you into his comedy instantly with the quick and witty style of his jokes. Mitch Hedberg made making a room full of people laugh hysterically, something that is very hard to do for an hour, look very easy.
Mitch began his career in Florida before moving to Seattle where he first started to tour as a headliner. His first big break in comedy came from an appearance on Late Night with David Letterman. He went on to appear on Letterman many times becoming a regular guest appearing on Dave's show 9 times. Mitch went on to win the Seattle Comedy Competition in 1997. From there he went on to appearances on That 70's Show, he also recorded three comedy cd's, and completed his very own independent film, 'Los Enchiladas!'. In 1999 he married Canadian comedian Lynne Shawcroft. Mitch and Lynne were happily married up until his untimely death in 2005.
