Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the Convenience
Well, Stan first gave me the heads up, but I didn't wanna believe it. But it looks true, The Mitch has passed. Lushy pointed me to Comedy Central's page on Mitch, and they confirmed he passed this week.
I'm really crushed at this... simply saying Mitch Hedberg was a comic genius wouldn't do the guy justice. A combination of Steven Wright and George Carlin, Mitch's stand-up routine had a unique voice all his own. You could hear the same joke 5 times, and somehow crack-up the hardest on the sixth time.
His comedy albums are that rare breed that you can pop in anytime, and just laugh along to the bass, with the laughs never getting stale. And his live show... well, damn, if you never got to see him, you missed out.
Sadly, like many geniuses, he had his demons, in the form of heroin. We'll never know how far he coulda gone if he had never got sucked into the tar pits...
