I don't think anyone can say it's unexpected, but still - a tremendous comic, probably my favorite right now. That's way too bad.

I loved that guy - he was so funny!

Well, I guess my boyfriend, his brother and I won't be seeing Mitch at the Funny Bone next week. I didn't know anything about him, but bf's brother loved him.

That is a sad way to die. :(

Wow, I saw him at the Comedy Club Stardome, just last fall.

I saw him live last year at the DC Improv and I've liked him for a few years now. I still can't believe it. It's sad, devastating, and tragic...We'll miss you, Mitch.:(

I heard this morning it was suicide. Did anyone else hear this?

On the radio they said they've told the family it was a heart attack, however those close to Mitch suspect it was a heroin overdose.

released this morning


Sounds like an OD - officially 'heart failure' that may or may not be related to a preexisting condition. You do the math.

:( I liked Mitch Hedberg.
I always say "yes, but can you farm...?"

:(

He was an original.

The world has lost another great one :(
He was hella funny

Sad, I just saw him and Jim Bruer when they did a show on campus a few weeks ago..

*raises lighter*

When I was in college, a group of friends and I used to go to the Punchline whenever he came to town. My boyfriend and I like to listen to his comedy Cds on road trips too.

Some of my favorite Mitch Hedberg jokes:

"This shirt is dry clean only.... which means it's dirty."

"I can't wait to finish this set because I have a roll of lifesavers in my pocket and pineapple is next."

"Another name for a cheese grater is sponge-ruiner."

It was all in his delivery too. He will be missed... :(
