Mitch Hedberg album out Sept. 9
Posted by Wade Tatangelo on Thu, Sep 4, 2008 at 4:55 PM
Mitch Hedberg, who died of an overdose in 2005, ranks as one of the last true originals of comedy. There really wasn't a precedent for his slyly delivered, zany observational bits. One of my faves is, "I like rice. Rice is great when you're hungry and you want 2,000 of something."
Hedberg issued only two albums, via Comedy Central, during his lifetime. On Sept. 9, the label will release Do You Believe in Gosh? From MitchHedberg.net:
Recorded two months prior to his death, "Do You Believe In Gosh?" contains nearly 40 minutes of previously unreleased stand-up material. The CD captures most of the material Mitch was working on, for what would have been his next full-length album, in a free-form show with a large amount of audience interaction.Listeners can expect the same bizarre one-liners like, “Is a hippopotamus a hippopotamus or just a really cool apoatmus?” delivered in the drawly, good-natured way only Hedberg could pull off. Mitch gives his unique point of view on such topics as the headless horseman, Medusa, whom he refers to as the “snake-haired bitch” and squirrels on water skis.
