Mitch Hedberg was one of the distinguished names in the comedy circles who made it big in the world of humor in his short career span. He was renowned for his unique style and deliverance that singled him out from the other comedians of his time. His abrupt delivery coupled with unusual stage presence made the audience split into laughter the moment he entered stage. Furthermore, his write-up was compact and unique including one or two punch lines mixed with absurd elements and non-sequiturs. Most of his jokes were inspired by everyday thoughts and situations. It was through his surreal humor and unconventional comedic delivery that he gained a cult following. His audiences were so enthralled by him that before he could finish the joke, they would shout the punch lines. Hedberg was loved by audience and fellow comedians alike and had fans in George Carlin, Dave Chappelle, Doug Stanhope, Mike Birbiglia and Lewis Black. Destined for greatness, his life was cut short due to his drug addiction. Paradoxically, when questioned as to how he would want to end his life, he often replied, ‘First, I'd want to get famous, and then I'd overdose. If I overdosed at this stage in my career, I would be lucky if it made the back pages’.
