I love comedy almost as much as I love I love t-shirts (actually, I think they both share a space that is equidistance from my heart)

When I was in high school, I had quiet fantasies of becoming a stand up comedian. However, since I have a tendency to hurl when speaking in public like SouthPark Stan on ipecac, I sort of gave up that idea...but I've always considered myself a "funny guy". I'm pretty sure I have a sense of humor.

One of my favorite comedians of all time is/was Mitch Hedberg.

My wife and I went to see Mitch Hedburg at a local comedy club a few years back, and he’s been our favorite comedian ever since.

His delivery and ability to laugh at himself (and get you laughing) were uncanny.

He reminded me of Steven Wright in his prime, but much funnier.

Unfortunately, Mitch Hedberg passed away earlier this year.
The Quadruple Tree bit can be found on his last CD, Mitch All Together.

I can't tell you what hotel I'm stayin at...but there are two trees involved.'

They said...let's call this hotel..."somethin tree". So they had a meeting...it was...it was quite short.

"How about TREE"

"No"

"Double Tree?"

"Hell ya! Meeting Adjourned!"

"I had my heart set on Quadruple Tree...well we were almost there!"


The official Mitch Hedberg site has some cool products for sale including a few nice t-shirt designs related to some of Mitch's material. I bought the Quadruple Tree t-shirt yesterday (in Green)...it would have been cool to see a t-shirt about his bit on pancakes:

“As a comedian, you have to start your act out strong, but you also have to save some of the good stuff for later... You can’t be like pancakes, all exciting at first, but by the end you’re fuckin’ sick of ‘em.” --Mitch Hedburg


I added that last dash since Mitch said he always wanted to be quoted with a dash.

If you're a fan of Mitch Hedberg, or a fan of comedy in general, you should pick up the Mitch Hedberg CDs (and of course a couple of his cool t-shirts)!

You can see a video clip of Mitch on Comedy Central at youtube here.

November 3, 2006 update - Mitch Hedburg Memorial Escalator t-shirts are available here for al imited time.
