Comedian Mitch Hedberg’s one-liners and random observations are legendary. There has never been a more ridiculously outrageous and observant comic in my lifetime, and I feel compelled to share his genius with all of you. Here is video of his Comedy Central special posted by ekpyroticfox on YouTube recently. He (Hedberg) tragically lost his life in a New Jersey hotel last year due to a reported drug overdose, but managed beforehand to share his considerable gift with audiences throughout the world. Unfortunately, every brilliant mind has its demons, and Hedberg was no different. His unfortunate passing came as a shock to all of his loyal fans, but also let us better appreciate his accomplishments in the short time he was with us. He truly was one of the best.
