Mitch Hedburg

I've been into Mitch Hedburg's stand-up comedy for awhile, and I've been listening to his CDs again lately.

Mitch had a very distinctive Minnesota stoner-type delivery and a kind of observational humour mixed with some Stephen Wright-like thoughts and statements that made him unique and fun to listen to.

Mitch didn't explode into a big star, but was always kind of on the verge of discovery. Before he passed away at 37, he left behind two comedy albums and DVD that I never get tired of.

So, if you ever get the chance, I recommend checking out Mitch Hedburg.


"I had a Mr. Pibb. Mr. Pibb is a replica of Dr. Pepper, but it's the bullsh*t replica 'cause dude didn't even get his degree! ...Why did you have to dropout and start making pop so soon!" - Mitch Hedburg, Mitch All Together 2004


"On a traffic light green means "Go", yellow means "Yeild", but on a banana it's just the opposite... Green means "Hold on"... Yellow means "Go ahead"... And red means "Where the f*ck did you get that banana at!" - Mitch Hedburg, Strategic Grill Locations 1999
