Mitch Hedberg
Just found out the man died this week. They say from a drug overdose.
I had the opportunity to see him three times in Columbus OH, Pittsburgh PA, Buffalo NY
Each time it seemed like he was deteriorating a little bit more. In pittsburgh we were really close to the stage and noticed some serious trembling. His comedy was completely based on timing and wit and an internal rhythm. Unfortunately the more the man drank and did drugs the more away from his routine he got.
By far my favorite comedian, very, very sad and unfortunate that he has left us.
Some of my favorite jokes
I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it."
"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."
"Alocholism, is a disease, but it's the only disease that you can get yelled at for having. Dammit Otto, your an alcoholic. Dammit Otto, you have Lupus. One of those two doesn't sound right."
