Mitch Hedberg Life

Mitchell Lee Hedberg (February 24, 1968 – March 29, 2005) was an American stand-up comedian known for his humour and deadpan delivery.

Hedberg's comedic act gained him a following, with audience members sometimes yelling out the punchlines to his jokes before he could finish them.

In 2005, he died as a result of a cocaine and opium overdose.

Early life

Hedberg, born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, the son of Mary (née Schimscha; 1943–2012) and Arne Hedberg. He was of Finnish-Swedish (from his paternal grandparents), Czech, and German descent. Hedberg attended Saint Paul's Harding High School. He expressed no interest in school and claimed that he was barely eligible to graduate.

Personal life

Hedberg was married to Canadian comedian Lynn Shawcroft from 1999 to his death in 2005.

Hedberg was a regular recreational drug user, even mentioning it in some of his parphrasedoutputs (e.g., "I used to do drugs"). I still do, but I used to do so too." In the December 2001 issue of Penthouse, Jonathan Davis interviewed him. "If you could choose, how will you end your life?" the author wondered three years before his death. "I'd like to get well-known first, and then I'd overdose." I might have been lucky if it made the back pages if I overdosed at this point in my career." He was arrested in Austin, Texas, for heroin use in May 2003. On October 12, 2004, Hedberg appeared on The Howard Stern Show with Robin Quivers. "You know, I got the drugs under control now," he said on March 17, 2005, this time with Quivers and Artie Lange present, and briefly addressed his drug use.

Stern asked, "Do you?

You know how to take them responsibly?"

"You know, just for the creative part of it," Hedberg replied.

CRAIG BROWN: As Filipino villagers eat 10ft python after it slithered out of jungle and attacked motorcyclist, 48, perhaps it's time for KFC to serve snake with chips

CRAIG BROWN: The planet is full of perils. Boljulio Aleria, a 48-year-old man, was riding his motorcycle in the Philippines shortly before Christmas when a 10ft python emerged from the jungle, twisted itself around his body, and sank its teeth into his wrist. I thought I was going to die if I didn't fight back,' Mr Aleria said. I was hoping that my only chance was to bite its neck, so it would loosen a little bit.' I didn't bite the skin until it was dry. I bit on its flesh as the skin peeled off. It was only then that it loosened.' Mr Aleria was able to get to the hospital quickly and is recovering at home on a course of antibiotics.

CRAIG BROWN: A laughing robot? Get the other one out of the picture

CRAIG BROWN: Scientists in Japan are said to have created a robot with a sense of humor. Researchers at Kyoto University have programmed their robot to a) detect laughter, b) determine whether or not to laugh, or not not to laugh, and c) choose the type of laughter - cackle, smirk, splutter, or chuckle - she chooses appropriate. I hate to pour cold water on Erica, but it doesn't appear that she will ever be the life and soul of a party.
