It hurts to read that, doesn't it? Mitch Hedberg was/is my favorite comedian and a hero of mine. I know he has a lot of fans on this site, which is why I post this. I just wish it wasn't true.
Mitch was a master of the one-liner. You could pick him out in a crowd of comedians just by his big sunglasses and long hair. Part of his act was making everyone think he was stoned. Chances are, with a few more years, he would have become the next big comic sensation. If only he had the chance to go on; he could have made it past cult status and broken into the mainstream.
I will miss him.

All I can say is:
<3.
Mitch Hedberg was the greatest influence on my life, so far (excluding my parents). After seeing Hedberg's standup, I wanted to do it, myself. I've been writing bits here and there, ever since then, and I hope I can get my first tour in a few years and dedicate to Mitch.
wtf who is he? was he in movies and stuff? anything i might know?
I'm assuming the heart attack was brought on by drugs...
Either way, g'bye.
I was so sad when I heard he had died. He was never going to be an actor or have a sitcom, but when it came to stand up comedy, he was one of the best.
he was also on "crank yankers" and made a movie called "los enchiladas", which featured himself, dave attell, and todd barry, among others.
btw, lameboy, it wasn't part of his act to make people think he was stoned. he was almost always drunk while performing and it was pretty well known that he was addicted to heroin. the way mitch talked on stage was how he talked off stage.
he will be missed.
