Mitchell Lee "Mitch" Hedberg (February 24, 1968 – March 30, 2005) was an American stand-up comedian known for his surreal humor and unconventional comedic delivery. His comedy typically featured short, sometimes one-line jokes, mixed with absurd elements and non sequiturs. Hedberg's comedy and on-stage persona gained him a cult following, with audience members sometimes shouting out the punchlines to his jokes before he could finish them. - Wikipedia


I wish I had known about him when he was alive. I found out about him right after he died, mainly because his death was announced on April Fools Day. I just love his totally random humor and delivery that's both rapid-fire and lazy. Nonetheless, having discovered his work I rank him with Dave Chappelle as one of my definite favorite comedians.

For those who also love this guy's comedy, what's your favorite Mitch line(s)?

He's one of my top 5 standup comedians. RIP Mitch.

Paraphrasing but

An escalator can never be out of order. They should put a sign saying "This escalator is temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience."

In honor of the 8th anniversary of Mitch's passing, here's him owning a heckler:

By all accounts he seemed like such a cool, down to earth guy.  I bet he was the type of guy to hang out after the show and have a smoke/beer with you.  It's too bad what happened to him... RIP

Pleasant surprise at Fanime last week: some of the escalators weren't running, so naturally the con staff put up signs...which led to someone apparently having some fun with them... :lol:

Would have been much funnier if they did the exact punch line "Escalators temporarily stairs, sorry for the convenience"
