20 Killer Lines from ‘Comedy Central Presents: Mitch Hedberg’
‘Alcoholism is a disease. But it’s the only disease you can get yelled at for having’
Even now, in the year of your lord 2024, if you attend an open mic, chances are good there’s going to be at least one guy ripping off Mitch Hedberg. When I say ripping off, of course, I mean without any of the success that Hedberg found. Sometimes he’s written off as relying on his unusual delivery, but I think anyone who says that hasn’t taken the time to realize how much effort has clearly gone into the wording. Watching his first Comedy Central Presents, it’s already chock-full of classics that people still repeat today, so it’s no surprise he reached such legendary status.
